First of all a disclaimer: I can't help it, the paintbrush that comes
with windows is the only painting program that I have.
I am trying to display PCX files created with Paintbrush. The problem is
that the Red and Blue are switched. I downloaded seepcxhd, a utility to
view PCX file headers, Z-soft bulletin board and it showed the colormap
that the PCX files used. The colormap for the PCX files looked like:
R G B
0 0 0
128 0 0
0 128 0
128 128 0
0 0 128
128 0 128
0 64 128
128 128 128
64 64 64
255 64 64
64 255 64
255 255 64
64 64 255
255 64 255
64 255 255
255 255 255
What I need to know is if the positions on the pallette represent
colormap registers. For example, does the box that contains white
with the startup pallette represent colormap register 15. I tried
to test this by changing white to black, but then the header viewer
read the file as a version 2.8 paint file without a pallette and
screwed up the colormap values.
The solutions that I have been thinking of are
1) Get a new paintbrush program.
2) Draw all the pictures with switched colors (i.e red for blue)
3) Write a routine to switch the values in the header. (I dont really
feel like it)
4) Modify the colormap when the picture is viewed (Other pictures
were drawn with the correct settings)
5) Make a customized pallette that will have the right values
in the colormap registers. <-- This is what I would like to
do.
Please Help!
