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