It's useful if it works on all machines?

Hi Ed, Nice one, do you know if there is something like 'addblend' in OpenGL or DX. I don't know exactly about the renderstates of DX, so I can't do it by myself. But i think something like this would be perfect for lights and so on.

I made several tests. I think I found the ADDBLEND

How should invertblend be used?

here is an example .
But I wonder if it is really usefull for game coding.

Graphics  800,600,0
  
SetClsColor 105,0,200
While Not KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)
	Cls
	
	SetBlend SOLIDBLEND	
	SetColor 255,255,255
	DrawRect 100,100,100,100	

	SetColor 255,255,0
	DrawRect 205,100,100,100

	SetColor 0,0,255
	DrawRect 100,205,100,100	

	SetColor 0,255,0
	DrawRect 205,205,100,100

Is it ADDBLEND ?
RED + GREEN = YELLOW 255,0,0 + 0,255,0 = 255,255,0
RED + BLUE = PURPLE 255,0,0 + 0,0,255 = 255,0,255

Isn't LIGHTBLEND already an add mode?
