1. Beginner needing some help... HELP ME!
Hi to all, I have a doubt (Who don't have?) that could be nothing to you,
but to me is a lot of trouble...
I need to do appear in a background, a little drawing. The drawing I did
(using MSPaint of windows 95), and with help of some of you I could put it
in a black background. But here is the question... if my image has a
palette, how to put the background, without turn the colors of each
individual palette?
Please, don't be angry with me, I am just a beginner, trying to understand
better the things...

I lost you a little on that question. Doesn't MSPaint use the same palette
for ALL of it's drawings? If not, then you will have to add the colors of
the little drawing into any blank spaces in the background's palette. I am
not sure how to do this in Paint. (help him, Packard, you're the Palette Man!)

I don't exactly understand what you mean.. but i guess the only
wanted effect i can come up with is that the colors should look the
same in your program as in MSPaint (PS There are a lot better (but
shareware) drawing tools, like Paint Shop Pro, just search with
Excite (the best & smartest, it can *learn*, it is almost AI))
Here some example code:
--------------------- ThE CoDe ------------- ~<~<~<~<~<~@ (cool rose)
include graphics.e -- Graphics mode support
include image.e -- Image sequence manipulation
if graphics_mode (19) then
puts(1,"GET A DESCENT VIDEO CARD, Fred...\n")
abort(1)
end if
object my_image
my_image = read_bmp ("my_image.bmp")
if atom(my_image) then
puts(1,"Error loading image!!!\n")
abort (1)
end if
all_palette (my_image[1]/4) -- 256 to 64 color levels
display_image ({0,0},my_image[2])
------------------------------------------------ <o^o> (auto)
This will display "my_image.bmp" with the right colors!!
But you MUST save your pictures with 256 colors or less, so not a
windows zillion colors way incompatible bitmap !!!

Its about someone's intentions and thinking that makes a person BAD,
not his intelligence nor his knowledge... any1 disagreeing will
someday meet some1 smarter then him and it will make him feel LOW....
So you shouldn't worry... asking for help is a sign of respect...
Glad to help you..

One choice is to make all of your images with the same palette (if
you use always the same drawing program, you have a good chance of
achieving this), but take care of wich color (number) is "BLACK" in
your image, then use that color as backgroud.
Another choice would be to create several 16 color images and display
them in a 256 color mode. Because each image has just 16 colors you
could "map" their palettes into de 256 color mode.

For you and other beginners (and future ones):
This listserver is (in my point of view) the place where ALL euphoria
programmers (begeinners, experts, pros) can ask, share and enjoy
other people solutions... I'll (and I think all of us) never get
angry with someone asking for help about Euphoria.
