Is it possible to create 8bpp palettized pixelmaps?
In the /ave/avo/pix/api.html the 8bpp is described as an 3:3:2 RGB pixmap. Is there any way to make paletized pixmaps instead?

I think it would,allocate a WHOLE bytes (or 8-Bits) to a single pixel. Then have a well 64 bit videocard read it very easily.8 bits per pixel would allow 256 colors per pixel.Now if this 8bpp means (8-Bit Palettized pixel) then maybe. If 8bbp means (8-bit per pixel) then VERY possible.Any video card should be able to handle this that is reletively new or capable of displaying 16.7 million colors.
Anyone here that may be able to explain an answer to this individual's question. Of course if 8-bits were allocated to a single pixel for color then I can say a 320 x 200 screen would that 64,000 bytes (not bits),which is about 64 KB.
A 1280 x 800 screen would be let's say 1,024 KB or 1 MB.A 2560 x 1600 would be 4 MB easily.At that resolution there would certainlly need something decent amount of memory
