Flashing BackgroundUsers of VIDEO.RW will be aware that the colour attributes for each byte of information on screen are stored in a single character, yet generally colour escape sequences are four characters long. The conversion between these formats is facilitated by the AREV functions ESC.TO.ATTR and ATTR.TO.ESC. Thus to get the screen attribute for Yellow on Blue (Esc C1N) one would simply say ATTR = ESC.TO.ATTR(CHAR(27) : "C1N"). Converting from attribute to escape conversely uses the ATTR.TO.ESC. The highest bit of the colour attribute determines whether or not the colour has a flashing background. If the highest bit is set the background will flash. If not the background will remain normal. To set the highest bit it is necessary to BITOR the attribute with 128. Try running the following with a (B option 0001 DECLARE FUNCTION ATTR.TO.ESC, ESC.TO.ATTR 0002 0003 X = ESC.TO.ATTR(@AW<4>) 0004 X = BITOR(SEQ(X),128) 0005 X = ATTR.TO.ESC(CHAR(X)) 0006 PRINT @AW<4> : "Hello" 0007 PRINT X : "Hello" 0008 INPUT X,1 (Volume 1, Issue 10, Page 9) |
