NAME

       vga_getscansegment - get a list of consecutive pixel values

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       int vga_getscansegment(unsigned char *colors, int x, int y, int length);

DESCRIPTION

       The  direct  opposite of vga_drawscansegment(). The line of length pixels starting at (x, y) is not drawn
       but instead the colorvalues are taken from the screen and copied into  color[0]  ..  color[length  -  1].
       Svgalib  versions was introduced in version 1.2.10.  In high/truecolor modes, the length must be given in
       bytes, not pixels.
