# \_set\_color(3alleg)

Inline version of set\_color(). Allegro game programming library.

## NAME

\_set\_color - Inline version of set\_color(). Allegro game programming library.

## SYNOPSIS

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

**void \_set\_color(int index, const RGB \*p);**

## DESCRIPTION

This is an inline version of set\_color(), intended for use in the vertical retrace simulator callback function (retrace\_proc, which is now deprecated).

If you really must use \_set\_color from retrace\_proc, note that it should only be used under DOS, in VGA mode 13h and mode-X. Some SVGA chipsets aren't VGA compatible (set\_color() and set\_palette() will use VESA calls on these cards, but \_set\_color() doesn't know about that).
