writepixels(3G) writepixels(3G)
NAME
writepixels - paints a row of pixels on the screen
C SPECIFICATION
void writepixels(n, colors)
short n;
Colorindex colors[];
PARAMETERS
n expects the number of pixels you want to paint.
colors expects an array of color indices. The system reads n elements
from this array and writes a pixel of the appropriate color for
each.
DESCRIPTION
writepixels paints a row of pixels on the screen in color map mode. The
starting location is the current character position. The system updates
the current character position to one pixel to the right of the last
painted pixel. The system paints pixels from left to right, and clips to
the current screenmask.
writepixels does not automatically wrap from one line to the next. The
current character position becomes undefined if the new position is
outside the viewport.
The system must be in color map mode for writepixels to function
correctly.
SEE ALSO
lrectwrite
NOTES
writepixels should not be used in new development. Rather, pixels should
be written using the high-performance lrectwrite command.
This routine is available only in immediate mode.
