9 @class wxPalette
10
11 A palette is a table that maps pixel values to RGB colours. It allows the
12 colours of a low-depth bitmap, for example, to be mapped to the available
13 colours in a display. The notion of palettes is becoming more and more
14 obsolete nowadays and only the MSW port is still using a native palette.
15 All other ports use generic code which is basically just an array of
16 colours.
17
18 It is likely that in the future the only use for palettes within wxWidgets
19 will be for representing colour indeces from images (such as GIF or PNG).
20 The image handlers for these formats have been modified to create a palette
21 if there is such information in the original image file (usually 256 or less
22 colour images). See wxImage for more information.
