Representation of colors in CHDK

Greetings,

Looking over the gui_draw.c file in the CHDK source code, I see that colors are represented as 8-bit values.  I would like to know more about how these values are mapped onto the color-space -- the reason is that I am working on a game that involves drawing colors that are specified from a text file in RGB representation (i.e. 0xRRGGBB).  For my particular application it would be very inconvenient to specify colors directly in the CHDK representation, so I would like to program a function that takes a color in RGB representation and converts it to the CHDK representation.  Does anyone know how to do this?

Best,
Jim

The bitmap display  (where the gui is drawn) is paletted, 8 bit. The palette varies between cameras, and also between playback and shooting mode.

Changing the palette shouldn't be too hard, but CHDK does not have this functionality, and it would require code for every camera, unless there's an eventproc that does it.

SetCurrentPalette
DeletePalette
SetYUVPaletteIndex
SetPaletteToPhysicalScreen
GetPaletteFromPhysicalScreen

Look promising. May need to be registered with UI_RegistDebugEventPro and/or RegisterDialogAPIForEventProcedure

Don't forget what the H stands for.
