DrawingBufferPixelFormat()

Syntax

Result = DrawingBufferPixelFormat()

Returns the pixel format of the current output. It can be a combination (with bitwise or) of the following values:

  #PB_PixelFormat_8Bits       ; 1 bytes per pixel, palletised
  #PB_PixelFormat_15Bits      ; 2 bytes per pixel 
  #PB_PixelFormat_16Bits      ; 2 bytes per pixel
  #PB_PixelFormat_24Bits_RGB  ; 3 bytes per pixel (RRGGBB)
  #PB_PixelFormat_24Bits_BGR  ; 3 bytes per pixel (BBGGRR)
  #PB_PixelFormat_32Bits_RGB  ; 4 bytes per pixel (RRGGBB)
  #PB_PixelFormat_32Bits_BGR  ; 4 bytes per pixel (BBGGRR)
  #PB_PixelFormat_ReversedY   ; The Y-Coordinate of the output is reversed in memory (the bottom row is stored first).

Important: DrawingBuffer() must be called before using this function.

The following examples show how to handle the result:

  If DrawingBufferPixelFormat() = #PB_PixelFormat_32Bits_RGB|#PB_PixelFormat_ReversedY
    ; 32bit RGB with reversed Y coordinate
  EndIf
  
  If DrawingBufferPixelFormat() = #PB_PixelFormat_32Bits_RGB
    ; 32bit RGB without reversed Y coordinate
  EndIf
  
  If DrawingBufferPixelFormat() & #PB_PixelFormat_32Bits_RGB
    ; 32bit RGB, with or without reversed Y coordinate
  EndIf
