Topic: True Color in Layer Creator

[ArchD]

I'm using Tim Spangler's Layer Creator and was wondering if there is a way to create a layer with true color instead of 1-255? The readme says that it must be an integer, but was hoping that maybe there was an update or work around. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Here's an example demonstrating how to create a layer with a True Colour from supplied RGB values:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (defun c:truecolourlayer ( )
2.     (entmake
3.         (list
4.            '(000 . "LAYER")
5.            '(100 . "AcDbSymbolTableRecord")
6.            '(100 . "AcDbLayerTableRecord")
7.            '(070 . 0)
8.            '(002 . "My True Colour Layer")
9.             (cons 420 (LM:RGB->True 188 97 78))
10.         )
11.     )
12.     (princ)
13. )
14.  
15. ;; RGB -> True  -  Lee Mac
16. ;; Args: r,g,b - [int] Red, Green, Blue values
17.  
18. (defun LM:RGB->True ( r g b )
19.     (logior (lsh (fix r) 16) (lsh (fix g) 8) (fix b))
20. )
21.  
22. (princ)

Though I doubt it'll be a simple modification to Tim's program to implement this, and unfortunately I don't have the time to review several thousand lines of code.
