>Description</H2
><P
>Sets the "gamma function" for the display of each color component.  Gamma
controls the brightness/contrast of colors displayed on the screen.
A gamma value of <TT
CLASS="CONSTANT"
>1.0</TT
> is identity (i.e., no adjustment
is made).</P
><P
>This function adjusts the gamma based on the "gamma function" parameter,
you can directly specify lookup tables for gamma adjustment with
<A
HREF="sdlsetgammaramp.html"
>SDL_SetGammaRamp</A
>.</P
><P
>Not all display hardware is able to change gamma.</P
