Or (Graphics Put)

Combines source and destination pixels with a bitwise Or, as a Put method.

Syntax

Put [ target, ] [ STEP ] ( x,y ), source [ ,( x1,y1 )-( x2,y2 ) ], Or

Description

The Or method combines each source pixel with the corresponding destination pixel, using the bit-wise Or function. The result of this is output as the destination pixel.
This method works in all graphics modes. There is no mask color, although color values of 0 (RGBA(0, 0, 0, 0) in full-color modes) will have no effect, because of the behavior of Or.

In full-color modes, each component (red, green, blue and alpha) is kept in a discrete set of bits, so the operation can be made to only affect some of the channels, by making sure the all the values of the other channels are set to 0.
