Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 18:20:25 +0200 From: Joost Baas Subject: why call arts artsc? I, and a few other people at the mplayer-docs-mailinglist were wondering why you decided to call arts artsc. I understand usually users have nothing to do with libsdl, just developers, but because you can choose the audio-driver being used by mplayer, one of which is sdl, and you can also choose the sdl subdriver, it is necessary to have a well-known or logical name. artsc is not the logical choice, and it's very hard to look up the right name if you don't know what you're looking for.

.TH "SDL_SetGammaRamp" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:01" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_SetGammaRamp\- Sets the color gamma lookup tables for the display
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_SetGammaRamp\fP\fR(\fBUint16 *redtable, Uint16 *greentable, Uint16 *bluetable\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Sets the gamma lookup tables for the display for each color component\&. Each table is an array of 256 Uint16 values, representing a mapping between the input and output for that channel\&. The input is the index into the array, and the output is the 16-bit gamma value at that index, scaled to the output color precision\&. You may pass NULL to any of the channels to leave them unchanged\&.
.PP
This function adjusts the gamma based on lookup tables, you can also have the gamma calculated based on a "gamma function" parameter with \fISDL_SetGamma\fR\&.
.PP
Not all display hardware is able to change gamma\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns -1 on error (or if gamma adjustment is not supported)\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.PP
