You do not need to unlock thePict parameter unless you locked it

The return value may need a lock:
If you created the Picture in the function then the reference
count is 1 and no additional lock should be done.
If you are returning thePict (image that you did not create
your self )then you need to Lock it to increase the reference count)
OK.
It seems I have a memory leak somewhere and I just have to find
it. I disabled the picture so my return value is NULL, and the
leak continued to occur so it is something with my code.
REALpicture Function() {
REALpicture bla = REALnewPicture(a,b,c);
return bla; // this wonn't leak
}
REALpicture Function() {
REALpicture bla = REALnewPicture(a,b,c);
return 0; // this WILL leak
} // because we created "bla", but now nothing can unlock it.
Just so you know._______________________________________________
