colour pens question..

Ah, I see now. I'll improve the program so that it uses this method on deep screens. Thanks Itex, Thomas and Piru for your help.

I replaced the call to WritePixelArray8() with SetRGB32() & WritePixel(); this works but is very slow. Presumably doing efficient >8-bit output would require CGX/P96. That's probably not worth it in the case of this particular program.

Yeah, there's a lot of overhead when writing single pixels like this.

cybergraphics/WritePixelArray can be used to render truecolor gfx. P96 emulates this API.

Yeah. If it begins to matter then you should use cgx/WPA.
