GetDeviceGammaRamp function
The GetDeviceGammaRamp function gets the gamma ramp on direct color display boards having drivers that support downloadable gamma ramps in hardware.
Syntax
BOOL WINAPI GetDeviceGammaRamp( HDC hDC, LPVOID lpRamp );
Parameters
- hDC
-
Specifies the device context of the direct color display board in question.
- lpRamp
-
Points to a buffer where the function can place the current gamma ramp of the color display board. The gamma ramp is specified in three arrays of 256 WORD elements each, which contain the mapping between RGB values in the frame buffer and digital-analog-converter (DAC) values. The sequence of the arrays is red, green, blue.
Return value
If this function succeeds, the return value is TRUE.
If this function fails, the return value is FALSE.
Remarks
Direct color display modes do not use color lookup tables and are usually 16, 24, or 32 bit. Not all direct color video boards support loadable gamma ramps. GetDeviceGammaRamp succeeds only for devices with drivers that support downloadable gamma ramps in hardware.
