The [_PALETTECOLOR](_PALETTECOLOR-(function)) function is used to return the 32-bit attribute color setting of an image or screen page handle's palette.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Syntax
|
||
|
|
||
|
> color32Value& = [_PALETTECOLOR](_PALETTECOLOR-(function))(attributeNumber%, imgHandle&)
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Description
|
||
|
|
||
|
* attributeNumber% is the color attribute value from 0 to 255 for 1, 4 or 8-bit images.
|
||
|
* imgHandle& is the image handle being read for color data. Zero can be used to read the current screen mode palette.
|
||
|
* Returns the 32-bit color value to be used by the 32 bit RGB functions.
|
||
|
* For 32-bit images send the _PALETTECOLOR return value to [_RED32](_RED32), [_GREEN32](_GREEN32) and [_BLUE32](_BLUE32) functions to get the red, green, and blue intensity values.
|
||
|
* **Although 32-bit palette values are returned, the function cannot be used with 32-bit images or screen modes.**
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Example(s)
|
||
|
|
||
|
How _PALETTECOLOR works on 32-bit RGB compared to a 4-BPP (SCREEN 12) QBasic procedure.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```vb
|
||
|
|
||
|
SCREEN 12 'can use any QBasic legacy screen mode
|
||
|
DIM RGB(0 TO 47) AS INTEGER 'color intensity array
|
||
|
FOR c& = 0 TO 15
|
||
|
'OUT &H3C7, c& 'set color attribute to read
|
||
|
value32& = _PALETTECOLOR(c&, 0) 'sets color value to read of an image page handle.
|
||
|
'red% = INP(&H3C9)
|
||
|
red% = _RED32(value32&)
|
||
|
'green% = INP(&H3C9)
|
||
|
green% = _GREEN32(value32&)
|
||
|
'blue% = INP(&H3C9)
|
||
|
blue% = _BLUE32(value32&)
|
||
|
RGB(c& * 3) = red%: RGB((c& * 3) + 1) = green%: RGB((c& * 3) + 2) = blue%
|
||
|
NEXT
|
||
|
FOR i = 0 TO 47 STEP 3
|
||
|
RGBval$ = LTRIM$(STR$(RGB(i))) + "," + STR$(RGB(i + 1)) + "," + STR$(RGB(i + 2)) + ")"
|
||
|
PRINT "Color"; i / 3, "_RGB(" + RGBval$;
|
||
|
PRINT
|
||
|
NEXT
|
||
|
END
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
> *Explanation:* To save a bitmap or other image you need the RGB color settings or the colors will look all wrong. You can store that information into a larger image array and [GET](GET-(graphics-statement)) the image AFTER the color settings. Just GET the image starting at Array(48).
