select_palette(3)               Allegro manual               select_palette(3)



NAME
       select_palette - Sets the internal palette for color conversion.
       Allegro 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
       hardware in any way. The previous palette settings are stored in an
       internal buffer, and can be restored by calling unselect_palette(). If
       you call select_palette() again, however, the internal buffer will be
       overwritten.
