- Programming Notes
- =================
- For details on how to setup a full-screen DirectDraw app, see the FullScreenMode
- sample.
-
- To adjust the gamma, first check to see if the device supports it. Call
- IDirectDraw::GetCaps to check if DDCAPS2_PRIMARYGAMMA is set. If it is, then
- you can set the gamma ramp by calling IDirectDrawGammaControl::SetGammaRamp.
-
- For simplicity this sample creates a gamma ramp which is linear for all
- color components. The ramp runs from 0 at index 0 linearly up to a user
- defined number at index 255 for each of the color components. However, the ramp
- does not need to be linear.
