GetBrushColor (Function)​

Format​

getbrushcolor
getbrushcolor()

returns rgb_expression

Description​

Returns the ARGB value of the current drawing brush color (last set by color statement). ARGB is calculated by the formula ( (a * 256 + r) * 256 + g) * 256 + b where alpha, red, green, and blue are between 0 and 255. A colour with an alpha of 128 or more, which includes every solid colour, comes out as a negative number, as it does from Rgb, so the value can be given straight back to Color. If the brush has been set to CLEAR, 0 is returned. A program starts with a black brush, -16777216.

Example​

color red, blue

will print
