===== getmaxcolor ===== ====Syntax of getmaxcolor ==== #include int getmaxcolor(void); ==== Description of getmaxcolor ==== getmaxcolor returns the highest valid color value for the current graphics driver and mode that can be passed to setcolor. For example, on a 256K EGA, getmaxcolor always returns 15, which means that any call to setcolor with a value from 0 to 15 is valid. On a CGA in high-resolution mode or on a Hercules monochrome adapter, getmaxcolor returns a value of 1. Windows Notes The winbgim version of getmaxcolor returns 15 for the maximum color. However, in addition to the usual BGI colors (0 through 15), the programmer may also use RGB_colors. ==== Example of getmaxcolor ==== /* getmaxcolor example */ #include #include #include #include int main(void) { /* request autodetection */ int gdriver = DETECT, gmode, errorcode; int midx, midy; char colstr[80]; /* initialize graphics and local variables */ initgraph(&gdriver, &gmode, ""); /* read result of initialization */ errorcode = graphresult(); if (errorcode != grOk) { /* an error occurred */ printf("Graphics error: %s\n", grapherrormsg(errorcode)); printf("Press any key to halt:"); getch(); exit(1); /* terminate with an error code */ } midx = getmaxx() / 2; midy = getmaxy() / 2; /* grab the color info. and convert it to a string */ sprintf(colstr, "This mode supports colors 0..%d", getmaxcolor()); /* display the information */ settextjustify(CENTER_TEXT, CENTER_TEXT); outtextxy(midx, midy, colstr); /* clean up */ getch(); closegraph(); return 0; } ==== See also ==== [[getbkcolor]] [[getcolor]] [[getpalette]] [[getpalettesize]] [[setcolor]] ===== output of getmaxcolor example ===== no output of example at the moment do not hesitate and add it...
