SYNOPSIS

#include <vga.h>

int vga_getpalvec(int start, int num, int *pal);

DESCRIPTION

Gets the num colors starting with index start from the color lookup table and stores the RGB values in *pal. *pal contains 3 * num integers which are the color values from first to last palette entry in the order red, green, blue (always three consecutive entries in *pal built a palette entry.

Each color entry is in range 0 - 63. This function is only sensible in 16 or 256 color modes. It shows which color all vga_setcolor(start) (and num - 1 following colors) drawn pixels will actually refer to.

If the VGA_CLUT8 feature is set for the current mode with vga_ext_set(3) the red, green, and blue values are in the range 0 - 255.

The function returns the value of num.
