Hi all, In order to automate and simplify as much as possible the process of importing images into the SAM and avoid the palette conversion problems, I'm tinkering with the Netpbm raster formats (<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netpbm_format>). BMP and others could be used too, but Netpbm files have two encoding variants (ASCII and binary) for every type (PBM, PGM and PPM), what makes them very versatile in this case.
The Netpbm images are created with Linux tools and the SAM does the final conversion, PLOTing the image pixels with the desired equivalent colors and GRABbing it. The first tries with a grayscale image look promising, but I need to choose 16 grays from the SAM palette (0, 7, 8, 15, 112, 120, 127...?) I'm afraid there are less than 16 gray tones, and blue must be used to complete the set. Am I right? Does anyboy know which are the best 16 SAM original colors for a grayscale? Thank you.
