gl_setcontextvga(3)						Svgalib User Manual					       gl_setcontextvga(3)

NAME

       gl_setcontextvga - set the context to the physical screen

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vgagl.h>

       int gl_setcontextvga(int mode);

DESCRIPTION

       Set  the  graphics  context  to the physical screen of a vga mode (as defined in vga_setmode(3)).  The mode must be set with vga_setmode(3)
       prior to using any of the drawing functions.  vgagl does not take care of that.

       The function returns 0 for success and non-zero if the mode is not supported by the hardware.

       The only thing you can do with a planar (mode X-like) 256 color mode is aligned gl_putbox, and use it as a target for gl_copyscreen.

       In all of the svga modes this program makes a description of the vga mode available to the vgagl functions.  The 256  color  svgamodes  are
       handled properly by this program.
