aced equivalent in DBX

[Anonymous]

I have a DBX application that needs to use acedGetRGB( ), which i can't use
because that function is only available in ARX. Is there some other
equivalent way of me getting an RGB color from Acad colors?

I don't recall where I picked this up (it may have been some slide code by
John Walker) and I can't tell you if it's accurate:

/* The following table maps the 256 standard AutoCAD colours into RGB
values with a Maxval of 255. These colours are actually derived in
an algorithmic way from the HLS colour system, but it's easier and
faster to just provide a table than to compute the RGB components
on the fly from the colour index. */

unsigned char acadcol[256][3] =
{
{0, 0, 0}, {255, 0, 0}, {255, 255, 0}, {0, 255, 0}, {0, 255, 255},

In dbcolor.h:

AcCmEntityColor::lookUpACI
AcCmEntityColor::lookUpRGB
