.SH NAME
vga_setlogicalwidth \- set the logical scanline width
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "#include <vga.h>"
.BI "void vga_setlogicalwidth(int " l );
.SH DESCRIPTION
Set the logical scanline width to
.I l
bytes. It must be a multiple of 8. Only changes the VGA register, drawing
functions don't take it into account. The logical scan line width is the offset
between points above each other in consecutive lines. Note that for some cards and
graphics modes a
multiple of 8 will not suffice to ensure a proper video timing. You should
only set
.I l
to multiples of the value returned for that graphics mode by
.BR vga_modeinfo (3).
