NAME
       notcurses_palette - operations on notcurses palettes

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<notcurses/notcurses.h>

	      typedef struct ncpalette {
		// We store the	RGB values as a	regular	ol' channel
		uint32_t chans[NCPALETTESIZE];
	      }	ncpalette;

       bool notcurses_cantruecolor(const struct	notcurses* nc);

       ncpalette* ncpalette_new(struct notcurses* nc);

       int ncpalette_use(struct	notcurses* nc, const ncpalette*	p);

       int ncpalette_set_rgb8(ncpalette* p, int	idx, int r, int	g, int b);

       int ncpalette_set(ncpalette* p, int idx,	unsigned rgb);

       int ncpalette_get(const ncpalette* p, int idx, uint32_t*	palent);

       int  ncpalette_get_rgb8(const  ncpalette*  p, int idx, int* restrict r,
       int* restrict g,	int* restrict b);

       void ncpalette_free(ncpalette* p);

       bool notcurses_canchangecolors(const struct notcurses* nc);

DESCRIPTION
       Some terminals only support 256 colors, but allow the full  palette  to
       be  specified  with arbitrary RGB colors.  In all cases,	it's more per-
       formant to use indexed colors, since it's much less data	 to  write  to
       the terminal.  If you can limit yourself	to 256 colors, that's probably
       for the best.

       In addition, palette-based color	allows for very	fast color cycling ef-
       fects, since a single command can affect	many cells on the screen.

RETURN VALUES
       Functions returning int return -1 on failure, or	0 on success.  Failure
       is  always  due to invalid inputs.  Functions returning bool are	predi-
       cates, and return the requested value.	Functions  returning  unsigned
       forms return the	input, modified	as requested.

       put(3), notcurses_plane(3)
