-Returns new sprite
+This function returns a new sprite which you can place in a variable for use in your program.
+
+Here is an example of opening a sprite canvas layer, creating a sprite, setting it's position and finally displaying it.
+
+#code
+    isFullScreen = false
+    vSync = true
+    winWidth = 640
+    winHeight = 480
+    canViewPortX = 0
+    canViewPortY = 0
+
+    OpenWindow("CreateSprite", winWidth, winHeight, isFullScreen, vSync)
+    sCanvas = OpenCanvasSpriteLayer(canViewPortX, canViewPortY, winWidth, winHeight)
+    Canvas(sCanvas)
+
+    DIM eye
+    DIM eyeW
+    DIM eyeH
+
+    eye = LoadImage("theEye.png")
+    GetImageSize(eye, eyeW, eyeH)
+
+    eyeSprite = CreateSprite(eye, eyeW, eyeH)
+    SetSpritePosition(eyeSprite, 100, 100)
+
+    While Not Key(K_ESCAPE)
+        'ClearCanvas() For a sprite layer canvas, you don't need to call ClearCanvas.  It's automatically called.
+        Update()      'Update automatically deals with drawing the sprites on the sprite canvas.
