pix

pix(x, y, color) Draw a pixel in the specified color

pix(x, y) -> color Retrieve a pixel's color

Parameters

• x, y : coordinates of the pixel
• color : the index of the palette color to draw

Returns

• color : the index (0-15) of the palette color at the specified coordinates.

Description

This function can read or write individual pixel color values. When called with a color argument, the pixel at the specified coordinates is set to that color. When called with only x y arguments, the color of the pixel at the specified coordinates is returned.

Examples

Draw Pixels

-- demo pix
cls(0)
function TIC()
  for i = 0,6000 do
    x = math.random(240)
    y = math.random(136)
    --Put a math colored pixel at random place
    color = (time()//1000*x*y)%60
    pix(x,y,color)
  end
end

Read a pixel's color

--demo pix read
t=0
--Draw some background
cls(0)
for i=0,15 do
 rect(9*i,6*i,6*i,3*i,i)
end

function TIC()
 if(t>12)then --wait some time
  t=0
  for x=0,240,2 do   --every 2 pixel in width
   for y=0,136,2 do  --every 2 pixel in height
    c=pix(x,y)       --take color
    c=(c+1)%15       --change it
    pix(x,y,c)       --put it back
  end
 end
end
t=t+1
end
