Thanks Carolyn,
I started to write a comment in the bug you mentioned, but aborted because
my issue is not with the functionality of the encoders, but rather with
the inability to use o.e.s.g.Image to *paint* in 4-bits (in a portable
way).
I have a need to do what Snippet194 is doing; I just want to generate a
4-bit-indexed image, and save it as 4-bit-indexed. Alas, even though I
construct an Image with my 4-bit-indexed ImageData, myImage.getImageData()
gives me back a 24-bit-direct one. If it would instead give me back a
4-bit-indexed ImageData, then I could save it OK with the existing encoder
functionality, which already supports 4-bit gifs.
I thought about blitting the 24-bit data back to 4 bits for cases where
Image doesn't return 4-bit ImageData, before realising that the blit
methods aren't public. So now I'm just not using SWT to do this - I don't
like it, but I've gone back to Java2D for now, since it's portable.
Hope this makes sense - in short, I cannot *paint* a 4-bit image under
linux.
1) I'd really rather paint using SWT, draw2d, etc. instead of awt; is
there a workaround that will allow me to draw on a GC, then get the result
as 4-bit-indexed?
2) Do you think this merits a new bug?
Thanks again,
Jason.
