Isn't it true, though, that 24-bit .BMPs don't have the palette array because they simply use three bytes to describe the RGB values of every pixel? I thought only 8-bit .BMPs had palettes, ala .GIFs. Maybe the bmptoppm.c code is only capable of handling 256 colors, and therefore insists on using a palette, but I'm sure it could still be modified. -J ------------------------------------------------------------------ Unsubscribe: To: listbot@svgalib.org Body: unsubscribe linux-svgalib
