.SH NAME
makeacol, makeacol_depth \- Converts RGBA colors into display dependent pixel formats. Allegro game programming library.\&
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <allegro.h>

.sp
.B int makeacol(int r, int g, int b, int a);

.B int makeacol_depth(int color_depth, int r, int g, int b, int a);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Convert RGBA colors into display dependent pixel formats. In anything 
less than a 32-bit mode, these are the same as calling makecol() or 
makecol_depth(), but by using these routines it is possible to create 
32-bit color values that contain a true 8 bit alpha channel along with 
the red, green, and blue components. You should only use RGBA format 
colors as the input to draw_trans_sprite() or draw_trans_rle_sprite() 
after calling set_alpha_blender(), rather than drawing them directly to 
the screen.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
Returns the requested RGBA quadruplet.
