EgetPalette()                                                         XBIOS

Syntax

VOID EgetPalette( start, count, paldata )
WORD start, count;
WORD *paldata;

Function      EgetPalette() copies the current TT030 color palette data
              into a specified buffer..

Opcode        85 (0x55)

Availability  This call is available when the high word of the '_VDO'
              cookie has a value of 2.

Parameters    start gives the index (0-255) of the first color register to
              copy data into. count specifies the total number of registers
              to copy. paldata is a pointer to an array where the TT030
              palette data will be stored. Each WORD will be formatted as
              follows:

              Bits 15-12    Bits 11-8     Bits 7-4      Bits 3-0

              Reserved      Red           Green         Blue

Binding       pea      paldata
              move.w   count,-(sp)
              move.w   start,-(sp)
              move.w   #$55,-(sp)
              trap     #14
              lea      10(sp),sp

Caveats       This call is machine-dependent to the TT030. It is therefore
              recommended that vq_color() be used in most instances.

Comments      Unlike Setpalette() this call encodes color nibbles from the
              most signifigant to least signifigant bit (3-2-1-0) as
              opposed to the compatibilty method of 0-3-2-1.
