Computes a valid color value for hi/truecolor modes
Syntax
Usage
result = RGB(red, green, blue)
Parameters
red
red color component value
green
green color component value
blue
blue color component value
Return Value
The combined color.
Description
red, green and blue are components ranging 0-255.
The RGB function can be used to compute a valid color value for use while in hi/truecolor modes. It returns an unsigned integer in the format &hAARRGGBB, where RR, GG and BB equal the values passed to this function, in hexadecimal format. AA is the implicit alpha value and is automatically set to &hFF (opaque).
Note for Windows API programmers: The macro named RGB in the Windows references has been renamed BGR in the FB headers for Windows to avoid collisions.
