select_palette(3) Allegro manual select_palette(3)NAMEselect_palette - Sets the internal palette for color conversion. Alle‐
gro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
void select_palette(const PALETTE p);
DESCRIPTION
Ugly hack for use in various dodgy situations where you need to convert
between paletted and truecolor image formats. Sets the internal palette
table in the same way as the set_palette() function, so the conversion
will use the specified palette, but without affecting the display hard‐
ware in any way. The previous palette settings are stored in an inter‐
nal buffer, and can be restored by calling unselect_palette(). If you
call select_palette() again, however, the internal buffer will be over‐
written.
