Is there a way to make a indexed graphics library that can
handle importing and exporting true color images?
I would guess something like this could be simulated with
pointers and references right?
My color.d actually can do it.
http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/arsd.color.html
it has a true color to indexed quantize function:
http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/arsd.color.quantize.html
my png.d is capable of loading and saving them:
http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/arsd.png.readPng.html
you will want to cast it to IndexedImage or cast it to
TrueColorImage and quantize to get an indexed one.
and my simpledisplay.d knows how to display them, but it does so
via conversions so palette swaps won't just work live like on a
real DOS system or whatever.

all the module's source code are in here:
https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd
but otherwise the support is not great because it is just
whenever I decide to answer emails and i'm gonna be busy this
next week. but it might be useful to you
