[$COLOR]($COLOR) is a metacommand that adds named color [CONST](CONST) in a program.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
> [$COLOR]($COLOR):0
|
|
> [$COLOR]($COLOR):32
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
* [$COLOR]($COLOR):0 adds [CONST](CONST) for colors 0-15. The actual constant names can be found in the file **source/utilities/color0.bi**.
|
|
* [$COLOR]($COLOR):32 adds [CONST](CONST) for 32-bit colors, similar to HTML color names. The actual constant names can be found in the file **source/utilities/color32.bi**.
|
|
* [$COLOR]($COLOR) is a shorthand to manually using [$INCLUDE]($INCLUDE) pointing to the files listed above.
|
|
* *NOTE*: When using [$NOPREFIX]($NOPREFIX), the color constants change to **C_<old name>** (ex: **Blue** becomes **C_Blue**).
|
|
|
|
## Example(s)
|
|
|
|
Adding named color constants for SCREEN 0:
|
|
|
|
```vb
|
|
|
|
$COLOR:0
|
|
COLOR BrightWhite, Red
|
|
PRINT "BrightWhite on red."
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
|
|
Bright white on red.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Adding named color constants for 32-bit modes:
|
|
|
|
```vb
|
|
|
|
SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(640, 400, 32)
|
|
$COLOR:32
|
|
COLOR CrayolaGold, DarkCyan
|
|
PRINT "CrayolaGold on DarkCyan."
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Using [$COLOR]($COLOR) with [$NOPREFIX]($NOPREFIX):
|
|
|
|
```vb
|
|
|
|
$NOPREFIX
|
|
$COLOR:0
|
|
COLOR C_BrightWhite, C_Red
|
|
PRINT "BrightWhite on Red."
|
