GETVGAPAL()
Determines the palette settings on a VGA card
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
GETVGAPAL(<nColor|cColor>,<cRGB>)
--> nPaletteValue
Arguments
<nColor>|<cColor> Designates a color represented by a number in the
range of 0 to 15, or a color code that corresponds to the one in SET
COLOR TO.
<cRGB> May designate as R, G, or B to determine the corresponding
palette value.
Returns
GETVGAPAL() returns the red, green, or blue palette value for the
designated color. When invalid paramerters are specified, a value of -1
is returned.
Description
On a VGA adapter, each color is a combination of the three values for
red, green and blue. Each value can be in the range of 0 to 63, to
permit you to install different color palettes.
GETVGAPAL() queries the R, G, and B values for all 16 colors. The
individual color can be a number in the range of 0 to 15, or represented
as a color code corresponding to the CA-Clipper SET COLOR TO.
Note
. This function is implemented in the enclosed Colorpal.prg
program.
Example
Determines the palette value of red in the color cyan:
GETVGAPAL("BG", "R")
