NAME

6       makecol8,  makecol15, makecol16, makecol24, makecol32 - Converts an RGB
7       value into a display dependent pixel format. Allegro  game  programming
8       library.

DESCRIPTION

25       These  functions  convert colors from a hardware independent form (red,
26       green, and blue values ranging 0-255) into  various  display  dependent
27       pixel formats. Converting to 15, 16, 24, or 32-bit formats only takes a
28       few shifts, so it is fairly efficient. Converting  to  an  8-bit  color
29       involves  searching  the  palette  to  find the closest match, which is
30       quite slow unless you have set up an RGB  mapping  table  (see  below).
31       Example:
32
33          /* 16 bit color version of green. */
34          int green_color = makecol16(0, 255, 0);
35

RETURN VALUE

37       Returns the requested RGB triplet in the specified color depth.
