- Ah.. I think you're assuming that chunky is always 8-bit. Chunky, as
- opposed to planar, simply means all bits of each colour register are
- stored consecutively rather than all bits from each bit level in each
- colour register stored in planes. It can be 1 bit, 4 bit, 8 bit, 16-bit,
- 24-bit, etc....
-
- 1-bit chunky == 1-bit planar
- x-bit chunky != x-bit planar (when x>1)
