NAME

       vga_setpalette - set a color in the color lookup table

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       void vga_setpalette(int index, int r, int g, int b);

DESCRIPTION

       Set  the current color with index index to RGB values r, g, and b, each
       in the range 0 - 63. This function is only sensible in 16 or 256  color
       modes. It selects which color all vga_setcolor(index) drawn pixels will
       actually refer to.

       Note that setting color 0 will modify the  background  color  and  that
       setting  any  color  in  range  0  ..  15  will affect the operation of
       vga_setegacolor(3).

       If  the  VGA_CLUT8  feature  is  set  for   the   current   mode   with
       vga_ext_set(3) the r, g, and b values are in the range 0 - 255.

       The vgatest(6) demo shows the basic use of this function.
