7       library.

DESCRIPTION

16       This program demonstrates how to  use  the  lighting  and  translucency
17       functions.  The first part of the example will show a dark screen illu‐
18       minated by a spotlight you can move with your mouse. After a key  press
19       the  example  shows  the  full bitmap and the spotlight changes to be a
20       reduced version of the background with 50% of translucency.
21
22       The translucency effect is easy to do in all  color  depths.   However,
23       the lighting effect has to be performed in a different way depending on
24       whether the screen is in 8bit mode or  another  color  depth.  This  is
25       because  additive  drawing  mode  uses  a different set of routines for
26       truecolor modes.
