Detecting color depth-16 color, 256 color, or 32 bit color
#18
@TerryRitchie  See if this helps showcase this one weird setup, that gives false positives that we can account for:

Code: (Select All)
Dim a(5)
a(1) = _NewImage(640, 480, 32) '  32 bit color
a(2) = _NewImage(640, 480, 256) ' 256 color
a(3) = _NewImage(640, 480, 12) '  16 color
a(4) = _NewImage(80, 25, 0) '    text (16 color)
a(5) = _NewImage(640, 480, 256) '256 colors, but with a very weird palette
For i = 18 To 255 'colors 18 to 255 are black
    _PaletteColor i, &HFF000000&&, a(5)
Next
'with the above, 0 is black .... it's not counted
'1 to 17 are colors.... that's 16 colors
'but we need to count that initial black to push it to being counted as a 17-color palette and not a false-16.



Print IMG_ColorDepth(a(1)) ' 32 bit color return
Print IMG_ColorDepth(a(2)) ' 256 color return
Print IMG_ColorDepth(a(3)) ' 16 color return
Print IMG_ColorDepth(a(4)) ' text color return
Print IMG_ColorDepth(a(5)); " <--- Note here" ' 256 weird palette color return


'PRINT IMG_ColorDepth(-30) ' this line will cause the error described in the function's documentation
