>Yeah, well Neil wasn't written with palette reduction specifically in >mind.. but I did manage to cobble together a program that does the trick. >It also forced me to write the save_bitmap8 routine for 256-color images. Pete, I noticed you updated *Neil* (yes, spelled correctly) with font-routines, and save-bitmap routines, however.. I noticed that the save_bitmap8 routine will not work with images containing #RRGGBB pixels, and that save_bitmap24 will not work with imaging using palette indexes. Couldnt there at least be some 'generic' function that selected the best method for saving ? I was wondering as well, why wouldnt both routines be able to save images using either heximal or indexed pixel format ? And now we're on the topic, (and since you've written it anyway already) couldnt your 'reduce-palette' be included in Neil as a procedure to say 'Free' this many palette entries and in true color mode it is simply 'does' nothing, something like 'free_palette (38)' .. frees 38 palette entries >While you're there, warp your mind with a wormhole tunnel effect: What have you been on ? No.. just joking. Very cool effect Ralf
