Syntax
LONG SetColorMode (LONG nMode)
Description
SetColorMode() sets the color mode of the image data when displayed by the VGA board or stored in PC memory. If stored in PC memory it is important that the allocated image memory provides sufficient space to hold the requested image completely. A 24 bit color image requires three times as much memory as an 8 bit monochrome image. When accessing the image data, it is important to know how the memory is arranged in each of the color modes. The image memory properties can be obtained using the function InquireImageMem().
