[alt.graphics.pixutils] computing the optimal palette

ironduke@fuhainf2.fernuni-hagen.de (04/24/91)

hi, graphicers !

I am looking for a program, that computes the optimal palette. It
should take a real-color-picture as input, the file-format should be
gif, ans produce an 256-color-pixelfile, using almost every of the
256-colors of the palette.

The palette should be computed in a way, that only a minimum of
color-information from the original picture is deleted.

I am looking for a public-domain program, that is avilable in
sources or already compiled for unix/386 from interactive.
From this site I can reach almost every ftp-server in the internet,
as long as I get its internet-number.

thanks in advance
