PALETTE

The PALETTE sample demonstrates how to use the CPalette class to paint bitmaps. You can choose to view the included bitmap painted with or without a palette. Bitmaps painted without a palette are noticeably inferior to those painted with a palette.

To turn the palette on or off, select File, then click on the Use Picture Palette menu item.

Note If you run the sample on a Windows desktop platform (using emulation), you should set your color palette settings to 256 colors. You will not notice the difference in bitmap quality if your machine is using a palette with more than 256 colors.
