Hi! As I see from the manual, target map can not be used for pixel operations. When I use something like

panel.target_map = mapoftarget;

bmap_to_format(mapoftarget,888);
bmap_lock(mapoftarget,888);
pixel_to_vec(mapoftarget and bla bla bla I get crash.

So is there really no way to use targetmap of panel for pixel operations? And what format is it natively, with no conversions?

I don't think that you can lock render targets.
