Is indexed colors possible?

Posted Monday, 2 June, 2008 - 09:46 by robpson in

Is there any cross-platform way to use indexed color modes in OpenTK? In windows GL programming that can be selected in the 'standard' opengl initialization, but OpenTK:s glControl seems to 'automatically' select a pixel format (???). The reason I need indexed colors is that I'm working on a cross platform CAD program, and need some nice XOr:ed rubberboxes (using GL.LogicOp with Xor) which only works in indexed modes...

It is possible to do this, but not yet automatically (i.e. through the Windows.Forms designer). What you can do right now is edit the designer-generated code and change the constructor from:

GLControl glControl1 = new GLControl();

to

GLControl glControl1 = new GLControl(new GraphicsMode(...));

and setup the GraphicsMode you want.

I'm planning to add designer support for this at some point.
