- I am using DirectColor setting for colormaps. X has the rgb plane
- which has 24 bits to store the pixel. However it uses an unsigned long
- to store the pixel, does X care what u do with the remaining 8 bits.
- My appl. has huge color images, and I'd like to store info. in the
- pixel, say whether it is a part of a mask, to process the image. Is there
- anyway to do that?
