amiga_palettes: Commonly used palettes on the Commodore Amiga

In AmigaFFH: Commodore Amiga File Format Handler

Commonly used palettes on the Commodore Amiga

Description

amiga_palettes is a named list, where each element represents a commonly used palette on the Commodore Amiga.

Format

A named list with the following elements:

• wb.os1: A vector of 4 colours that were used as the default palette of the Workbench on Amiga OS 1.x.

• wb.os2: A vector of 8 colours. The first 4 colours are the default colours of a standard Workbench on Amiga OS 2.x. The latter 4 are additional colours used by the Workbench expansion MagicWB.

• spr.os1: A vector of 3 colours that were used by default for a mouse pointer sprite on Amiga OS 1.x.

• spr.os2: A vector of 3 colours that were used by default for a mouse pointer sprite on Amiga OS 2.x.

Details

Some files that contain bitmap images with an indexed palette did not store the palette in the same file. Amiga Workbench icons (AmigaIcon()) for instance only store the index values of the palette, but not the palette itself. amiga_palettes therefore provides some commonly used palettes on the Amiga, such that these files can be interpreted.
