12\section{\class{wxPalette}}\label{wxpalette}
13
14A palette is a table that maps pixel values to RGB colours. It allows the
15colours of a low-depth bitmap, for example, to be mapped to the available
16colours in a display. The notion of palettes is becoming more and more
17obsolete nowadays and only the MSW port is still using a native palette.
18All other ports use generic code which is basically just an array of
19colours.
20
21It is likely that in the future the only use for palettes within wxWidgets
22will be for representing colour indeces from images (such as GIF or PNG).
23The image handlers for these formats have been modified to create a palette
24if there is such information in the original image file (usually 256 or less
25colour images). See \helpref{wxImage}{wximage} for more information.
