# prefersExtendedRange

A Boolean value that specifies whether the bitmap context uses extended color.

## Declaration

```swift
var prefersExtendedRange: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If true, the underlying Core Graphics context is configured to support wide color; if false, the context is not. The default is true on devices that natively support wide color, and false on those that do not.
