This function lets you determine the types of operating modes that a specific graphics card driver
operates in. It will tell you whether it is a windowed, fullscreen, definitely windowed or fullscreen,
and/or a magic driver.
The value returned is a bitfield consisting of these fields:
GFX_TYPE_UNKNOWNGFX_TYPE_WINDOWEDGFX_TYPE_FULLSCREENGFX_TYPE_DEFINITEGFX_TYPE_MAGIC
The return value will only be equivalent to GFX_TYPE_UNKNOWN when it is a driver unrecognized on that
platform, or it is a bogus value. Test for the other types by using a bitwise AND. If the driver is
windowed or fullscreen, it will also have the definite flag set. For example,
int gfx_type = get_gfx_mode_type(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED);
gfx_type would have the GFX_TYPE_WINDOWED, GFX_TYPE_DEFINITE, and GFX_TYPE_MAGIC flags set.
Allegro needs to be initialized first.
Example:
/* Accept the use of only windowed drivers in our selection dialog */
int accept_windowed(int card , int w , int h , int color_depth)
{
if (get_gfx_mode_type(card) & GFX_TYPE_WINDOWED)
return 0;
return 1;
}
/* In main: */
gfx_mode_select_filter(&card, &w, &h, &color_depth, accept_windowed);
