.TH vga_drawpixel 3 "27 July 1997" "Svgalib (>= 1.2.11)" "Svgalib User Manual" .SH NAME vga_drawpixel \- draw a pixel on the screen .SH SYNOPSIS .B "#include " .BI "int vga_drawpixel(int " x ", int " y ); .SH DESCRIPTION Read a pixels value from the screen. This function is very inefficient, you should consider doing direct screen access instead or use .BR vga_drawscansegment (3) to handle more than one pixel. The color drawn is set with .BR vga_setcolor (3) or .BR vga_setrgbcolor (3) resp. The function always returns 0 (on which you should probably not really rely). .SH SEE ALSO .BR svgalib (7), .BR vgagl (7), .BR libvga.config (5), .BR vga_clear (3), .BR vga_setcolor (3), .BR vga_setrgbcolor (3), .BR vga_getpixel (3), .BR vga_drawline (3), .BR vga_drawscanline (3), .BR vga_drawscansegment (3), .BR vga_getscansegment (3) .SH AUTHOR This manual page was edited by Michael Weller . The exact source of the referenced function as well as of the original documentation is unknown. It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm Hanemaayer . Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the original author and will happily accept any additions or corrections to this first version of the svgalib manual.
