When using a 32 bit per pixel in a frame buffer, how do you organize it ?? Assuming 8 bits each of red, green, blue, alpha (0 in a 24 bit buffer), should red be in the least significant bits? should blue? should alpha? should green? Cast your vote for RGBA, ABGR, ARGB, or another combination (where Z represents the least significant bits of WXYZ). Also, of course include your reasoning. Also please send info about how any commercial hardware or software keep data. Maybe we can develop some consensus to help everyone tired of shuffling bytes. A summary will be posted to the net. Thanks. [P.S. If you post your response, please mail a copy to Nick since he is not on the net.] -- Nick England, Sun Microsystems, Raleigh NC sun!nengland nengland@rry i co
