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.
