Using colors

Gama has a special gmColor type it uses to store colors,

        typedef unsigned int gmColor

You can use predefined colors, see reference there are more than a hundred of colors there like GM_RED, GM_BURLYWOOD, and so on.

        gmColor blue = GM_BLUE;

gmColor red = 0xFF0000FF;


gmColor customColor = gm_rgb(123, 255, 20);

Editing colors

You can modify colors with gm_set_green, gm_set_red, gm_set_blue and gm_set_alpha which receive the color and number from 0 to 255.

You can do bitwise operations on color objects which result in merging colors or altering them.

        gmColor magenta = red | blue;
gmColor dark_magenta = magenta & GM_GRAY;
gmColor translucent_red = red & GM_TRANSLUCENT;

To learn more about the color codes used in gama you can view the w3schools color reference.
