In a number of applications the user has to select a color from the colormap. For this a goody has been created. It shows the first 64 entries of the colormap. The user can scroll through the colormap to see more entries. Once the user presses the mouse one of the entries the corresponding index is returned and the colormap is removed from the screen. To display the colormap use the routine
int fl_show_colormap(int oldcol);
oldcol
should be the current or default color. The user can
decide not to change this color by pressing the Cancel
button in
the form. The procedure returns the index of the color selected (or the
index of the old color).
