Do we know that this function actually works?

Yes it works, but I thought the API is wrong about the usage.
The first four are screen coordinates and the last two are sizes:
First two are where the upper left corner of the pic would be on screen, next two are where you want to start drawing the snip, and last two are the sizes of the snip.
I used my incredible paint skills to visualize this:

exampleImage:draw(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3)
