Palette structure

#include <Palettes.h>

typedef struct Palette { Size Offset Description

short pmEntries; 2 0 Total pmTable entries

short pmDataFields[7]; 14 2 Array of private fields for internal

use

ColorInfo pmInfo[]; 16*n 16 1 or more ColorInfo records

} Palette; 16+16*n variable-length structure

typedef Palette *PalettePtr;

typedef Palette **PaletteHandle;

Notes: The Palette data structure is identical in format to the resource 'pltt' and

new color palettes are generally created using 'pltt' through the

GetNewPalette procedure. The NewPalette routine is used to make a

palette from inside an application. After either routine is called,

SetPalette is used to render the palette on the monitor while

DisposePalette removes the entire structure. Use ActivatePalette

after changing a palette with any Palette Manager routine, it is also

automatically called by Window Manager each time a window opens,

closes, moves or is brought to the front. GetPalette will give you a handle

to a particular window's palette.
