Color - Graphics Q

Harry1

I am currently using the Graphics class that came with the propeller IDE.

I looked at the API and still don't quite understand how color works.

What i am trying to do is to have 4 colored boxes at the 4 corners of the screen. So i was wondering how i could set the upper right box to green, the lower right box to yellow, the upper left box to black, and the upper right block to red.

thanks for any help ^_^

There is a color map for all the tiles. You get four colors. For each 16x16 pixel tile (or 16x32), the colors are set in an array of values, one for each tile on the screen. There is a larger pool of ~64 colors available for use in each tile.

That's a solid document that should get you where you want to go.

There is a heaviliy documented code example there, including a spread sheet page with the timing calculations.
