────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The getvideoconfig subroutine returns the current graphics
environment configuration in a videoconfig structure (defined in
FGRAPH.FD). The structure is returned in the <config> argument.
See also: ◄The videoconfig Structure►
The values returned reflect the currently active monitor and the
currently specified video mode.
In every text mode, including monochrome, the getvideoconfig
subroutine returns the value 32 for the number of available colors.
The value 32 indicates the range of values (0-31) accepted by the
settextcolor function. This includes sixteen normal colors (0-15)
and sixteen blinking colors (16-31). Blinking is selected by adding
16 to the normal color value.
Monochrome text mode has fewer unique display attributes, so some
color values are redundant. However, because blinking is selected
in the same manner, monochrome text mode has the same range (0-31)
as other text modes.
Return Value
None.
