NAME¶
get_color_depth - Returns the current pixel color depth. Allegro game
programming library.
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <allegro.h>
int get_color_depth(void);
DESCRIPTION¶
Returns the current pixel format. This can be very useful to know in order to
write generic functions which select a different code path internally
depending on the color depth being used.
Note that the function returns whatever value you may have set previously with
set_color_depth(), which can be different from the current color depth of the
screen global variable. If you really need to know the color depth of the
screen, use bitmap_color_depth().
