[net.micro.mac] How would you do color on the Macintosh?

keashly@winston.UUCP (Lance Keashly) (10/31/85)

I would just like to know how you would color on the Macintosh.
The only restriction is that it allows the current software interface
to still work. I'm curious as to just what kind of methods could be used.

As far as I know there is no "official" way that it will be done. Inside
Macintosh only refers to a current forecolor and backcolor and maximum of
32 bits/planes per pixel. I think that limitation is only because the 
parameters already allocated are that big, not that they actually do anything
with the parameters.

Any thoughts on this would be of great interest.
