7 Color in the Window Tool Kit
'BLACK
, and the default background value is usually'WHITE
.More complicated uses of color can require complex transformations between bitmaps and direct manipulation of the color table. However, the following sections give directions for the most common uses of color.
The first step in using color is to invoke the Window Tool Kit on a display that supports both graphics and color. If you do not know whether your display supports graphics and color, you can use Lisp to find out.
Invoke the function windows-available-p
. If your display supports graphics, this function returns three values: the width, height, and depth of the display. If the depth of the current display is larger than 1, the display also supports color operations. The function display-depth
also returns the depth of the current display.
By default, only the colors'BLACK
and'WHITE
are registered. You must register any other colors that you want to use; the function setup-color-library
registers colors for you.
