# set\_palette\_range(3alleg4)

Sets a specific range of the palette. Allegro game programming library.

## NAME

set\_palette\_range - Sets a specific range of the palette. Allegro game programming library.

## SYNOPSIS

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

**void set\_palette\_range(const PALETTE p, int from, int to, int vsync);**

## DESCRIPTION

Sets the palette entries between from and to (inclusive: pass 0 and 255  to set the entire palette). If vsync is set it waits for the vertical  retrace, otherwise it sets the colors immediately. Example:

```
   PALETTE palette;
   ...
   /* Modify the first 16 entries. */
   change_first_16_colors(palette);
   /* Now update them waiting for vsync. */
   set_palette_range(palette, 0, 15, 1);
```
