- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- Files of type $C1 and auxiliary type $0002 contain Super Hi-Res screen images
- with extra color tables so that up to 3,200 colors can be displayed
- simultaneously.
-
- Such a display technique is visually striking but is not easy--the program must
- watch the Mega II video counters and change the color tables in the palette
- for future scan lines while the Apple IIgs is drawing a different scan line.
- All such pictures use 320 mode.
-
- This format is for uncompressed 3,200-color pictures. It is often referred to
- as "Brooks format" after the designer of the format, John Brooks. For a way
- to store these pictures compressed, see the MULTIPAL block in the Apple
- Preferred format.
-
- Definition
-
- The following definition is used in this document in addition to those defined
- for all Apple II file types:
-
- Color table A table of sixteen two-byte entries, where each entry in the
- table is a master color value ($0RGB, where R is the red
- component, G is the green component and B is the blue
- component).
-
- File Structure
-

-
