BITMAP ENABLE
   BITMAP ENABLE (colors)
   BITMAP ENABLE (width, height)
   BITMAP ENABLE (width, height, colors)

The BITMAP ENABLE' command is a fundamental tool, since it allows to configure the graphics mode of the screen, that is, to define how data was displayed on the screen, determining aspects such as the number of horizontal and vertical pixels that make up the image on the screen, and the color palette available for drawing images. In 8-bit computers, memory was limited and processing power was much lower than modern computers. The BITMAP ENABLE allows you to optimize the use of resources by choosing the graphics mode best suited to the needs of the program and, at the same time, to generalize if the program must be ported on other hardware. Given the great variety of hardware that ugBASIC supports and the isomorphic approach adopted, this commands can be used to require a specific resolution, color depth and other characteristics in a hardware independent way. In this regard, the following approach has been adopted. It is possible to ask for specific chacteristics, such as height and width of the screen. However ugBASIC will choose the closest resolution, based on the hardware on which it will runs. Likewise, if no type of resolution constraint is set, the best is offered. To change resolution and colors, you can use the ([width],[height],[colors]), ([width],[height]) or the ([colors]) syntax after BITMAP ENABLE command. So, if you omit a parameters, it means thatit is not important to set. ==== EXAMPLE ==== BITMAP ENABLE BITMAP ENABLE (320,200,16) BITMAP ENABLE (160,200,2) See also the following example files: * screens_resolution_01.bas''
