NAME¶

vga_setpalvec - sets colors in the color lookup table

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <vga.h> int vga_setpalvec(int start, int num, int *pal);

DESCRIPTION¶

Sets the num colors starting with index start to the RGB values in *pal. *pal contains 3 * num integers which are the color values to set from first to last palette entry in the order red, green, blue (always three consecutive entries in *pal built a palette entry. Each color entry is in range 0 - 63. This function is only sensible in 16 or 256 color modes. It selects which color all vga_setcolor(start) (and num - 1 following colors) drawn pixels will actually refer to. Note that setting color 0 will modify the background color and that setting any color in range 0 .. 15 will affect the operation of vga_setegacolor(3). If the VGA_CLUT8 feature is set for the current mode with vga_ext_set(3) the red, green, and blue values are in the range 0 - 255. The function returns the value of num.
