Requirements

ATTR is a library function to be included with the following command:

# include <attr.bas>

Description

ATTR(row, col)

Returns the ATTR (color attribute) of the given screen coordinate at the given row and column.

Sample usage

# include <attr.bas>

PRINT AT 9, 10;PAPER 4; "A"
LET s = ATTR$(9, 10)
PRINT AT 0, 0; "The attribute of screen position 9, 10 is "; s

Remarks

  • This function extends the one in Sinclair BASIC (and it's compatible with it) since it also allows rows 22 and 23.
