# \_getpixel(3alleg)

Faster specific version of getpixel(). Allegro game programming library.

## NAME

\_getpixel, \_getpixel15, \_getpixel16, \_getpixel24, \_getpixel32 - Faster specific version of getpixel(). Allegro game programming library.

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<allegro.h\>**

**int \_getpixel(BITMAP \*bmp, int x, int y);**

**int \_getpixel15(BITMAP \*bmp, int x, int y);**

**int \_getpixel16(BITMAP \*bmp, int x, int y);**

**int \_getpixel24(BITMAP \*bmp, int x, int y);**

**int \_getpixel32(BITMAP \*bmp, int x, int y);**

## DESCRIPTION

Faster inline versions of getpixel() for specific color depths. These  won't work in mode-X, and don't do any clipping, so you must make sure  the point lies inside the bitmap.

## RETURN VALUE

Returns the value of the pixel in the color format you specified.
