Q: Want to return every color within a Grid.

[Jos]

Should this be a bug report or a feature request or...?

Shouldn't the dim statement read :

Dim $colours[256][3]

3 colors that each can have a value from 0 to 255 ????

[Mr.Wizard]

nope, that would give you 256x3 possible colours, or 768 colours

with 256 possible values of red, 256 possible values of green, and 256 possible values of blue per colour, there are 256x256x256 possible colours, or 16777216 colours, or 16k colours, or 2 to the power of 24, or 24-bit colour...

If I was going to do it single dimensional then it wouldn't it need to be

dim $colours[16777216]

in which case it also DOIA with the array oversize error

Let me know when you guys figure out something that replies in a decent amount of time. = ))

8 minutes to scan the colors when I only have 30 seconds to do it and other items, isn't fast enough. I need to scan in around 2 seconds or so.

Maybe I need to find another alternative. (grins)

well if it would let me dim this damn array i think it would be quick...
