Allegro and color commands

[campsoup1988]

I know how specify what color I want to set to a pixle in Allegro, but I was woundering, is there a way to record what the color of specific pixle is?

I use the command:

color=makecol(red,green,blue);

to set the color for a comand like:

line(screen,x1,y1,x2,y2,color);

what I want it do is either detect what 'red', 'green', and 'blue' of a specific pixle or 'color' of the pixle

Thanks,

PS: if this is the wrong section for the question, I am sorry, and if you could move it to the correct section

You can find the getpixel function in the allegro docs
http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegr.../alleg013.html
Once you have the pixel value in a variable you can seperate it into it's componant colors by and'ing/bitshifts.
