png.h RGB-palette conversion help

Hi, I'm trying to obtain the number of colors and possibly the color
table of png files. However, most of my files are RGB (not palette)
mode. Does anyone know how to obtain those info?

I am using the png.h library. I have tried using the png_set_dither
function to convert the rgb mode to palette mode, but did not succeed.
(I would prefer to be able to directly get the info from RGB mode
though.)

Thanks, much appreciated.

Perhaps some people in a graphics group or a group about
your platform could be of better assistance. In this
newsgroup, news:comp.lang. c++, we discuss issues with the
language, not applications of the language. The language
does not have facilities for graphics or file formats,
so we don't discuss those topics here.

Take a look at this page if you will: http://www.sugapablo.net/temp/colortest.html Does it look right to you? Should #0000ff and #000fff be the same shade of blue? Especially since #ff0000 is red and #fff000 is drastically different as yellow. Maybe my monitor is busted or something? Does anyone else find this strange? That the RGB levels would be

We've got some JavaScript code that gets the current background color. It works, but Netscape returns it in rgb format, while IE returns it as the color text name (e.g., 'white'). We need to do some math calculations on the color, so I want the rgb values. How can I get IE to return the background color in rgb format, or how do I convert the text color to its rgb value? Thanks!

Hello, There are various "Color Pickers" out there, where a series of colors are displayed on a grid and when the user clicks one of these colors, it is selected, and processed by the application. NOW THE QUESTION: Is there an easy way to do this in the opposite direction? For example, what if you have a photographic image and would like to determine the RGB values of a certain section of the photograph?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
