Objet : Réf. : Re: PseudoColor and error
with XAllocColorCells()(Document link: Celine Renard)
yes this software was wrote by collegues.
the 72 colors are allocate in the default color map.
but why XWin allocates so much color ?
I'll try to implement the code to create my own color map and inform you if
it is ok
Thanks so much

Did you write this software yourself? What you probably want to do is
create your own color map first, then alloc the colors in that new
colormap. It sounds like you are trying to alloc the colors in the
default colormap, which have already been allocated.
I'm not really an X Client developer, so I must ask the other folks: Is
it even possible to create a private colormap? I assume that it is,
because I had to implement the code to switch between colormaps when
clients specified that they used a non-default colormap.
