bionic (3) get_color_depth.3alleg4.gz

NAME

       get_color_depth - Returns the current pixel color depth. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int get_color_depth(void);

DESCRIPTION

       Returns  the  current  pixel  format. This can be very useful to know in order to write generic functions
       which select a different code path internally depending on the color depth being used.

       Note that the function returns whatever value you may have set previously with  set_color_depth(),  which
       can  be  different from the current color depth of the screen global variable. If you really need to know
       the color depth of the screen, use bitmap_color_depth().
