D3DCOLORMODEL

The D3DCOLORMODEL constant defines the color model in which the system will run. A driver can expose either or both flags in the dcmColorModel member of the D3DDEVICEDESC structure.

typedef DWORD D3DCOLORMODEL
 

Values

D3DCOLOR_MONO

Use a monochromatic model (or ramp model). In this model, the blue component of a vertex color is used to define the brightness of a lit vertex.

D3DCOLOR_RGB

Use a full RGB model.

Remarks

Prior to DirectX 5, these values were part of an enumerated type. This was not correct, because they are bit flags. The enumerated type in earlier versions of DirectX had this syntax:

typedef enum _D3DCOLORMODEL { 
    D3DCOLOR_MONO = 1, 
    D3DCOLOR_RGB  = 2, 
} D3DCOLORMODEL;
