Summary:
The following program sets the video mode to _MRES4COLOR(320x200 pixels, 4 color), then cycles through background colors and palette combinations.
Sample Code
/* Compile options needed: /link graphics.lib */
- include <stdio.h> #include <graph.h> long bkcolor[8] = {_BLACK, _BLUE, _GREEN, _CYAN, _RED, _MAGENTA, _BROWN, _WHITE};
char *bkcolor_name [] = {"_BLACK“,”_BLUE“,”_GREEN“,”_CYAN“,”_RED“,”_MAGENTA“,”_BROWN“,”_WHITE"};
main() { int i, j, k, delay; _setvideomode (_MRES4COLOR); /* uses CGA color mode */ for (i=0; i<= 3; i++) { _selectpalette (i); for (k=0; k <= 7; k++) { _setbkcolor (bkcolor[k]); for (j=0; j<=3; j++) { _settextposition (1,1); printf (“background color: %8s”, bkcolor_name[k]); printf (“palette: %d: %d”,i,j); _setcolor (j); _rectangle (_GFILLINTERIOR,160,100,320,200); for (delay=0; delay <= 20000; delay++) ; } } } _setvideomode (_DEFAULTMODE); }
