gl_setcontextvga(3) Svgalib User Manual gl_setcontextvga(3)

gl_setcontextvga - set the context to the physical screen

#include <vgagl.h>

int gl_setcontextvga(int mode);

Set the graphics context to the physical screen of a vga mode (as defined in vga_setmode(3)). The mode must be set with vga_setmode(3) prior to using any of the drawing functions. vgagl does not take care of that.

The function returns 0 for success and non-zero if the mode is not supported by the hardware.

The only thing you can do with a planar (mode X-like) 256 color mode is aligned gl_putbox, and use it as a target for gl_copyscreen.

In all of the svga modes this program makes a description of the vga mode available to the vgagl functions. The 256 color svgamodes are handled properly by this program.

This manual page was edited by Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-essen.de>. The exact source of the referenced demo as well as of the original documentation is unknown. This page was modified by Don Secrest <secrest@uiuc.edu>.

It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.

Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the original author and will happily accept any additions or corrections to this first version of the svgalib manual.
