Re: [9fans] alg to make a good colour palette for a graph

[Steve Simon]

Hi,

I picked up somecode from Graphics gems to do this,
it was good enough for me though I wouldn't vouch
the optimal-ness of its solution.

The file is colorquant.c, I cannot find which volume of
gems its from but I could send you the code if you like.

Google is your friend, all the code from all five volumes is available on
the web at the Graphics Gem homesite, which by the way will take you to
their e-zine on graphics related topics.

I agree. There is so much to be learned from people on this list,
just by observing/listening in.

On a somewhat related note, I wanted to share my pick for a new
book of algorithms; It is called "Hacker's Delight" by Henry S.
Warren Jr.

I agree, I got it a couple of months ago and have enjoyed it. Is most
useful for those working in assembly and compilers but it's also just a
good read (if you like didling bits ;).
