//  A Palette is defined by some anchor points. Each anchor point has   //
//  a value between 0 and 1 and a color. An image has to be normalized  //
//  and the values between the anchor points are interpolated.          //
//  All member variables are public and can be directly manipulated.    //
//  In most cases the default operator will be used to create a         //
//  TImagePalette. In this case the member arrays have to be allocated  //
//  by an application and will be deleted in the destructor of this     //
//  class.                                                              //

//       The web palette is a set of 216 colors that will not dither or //
//       shift on PCs or Macs. Browsers use this built-in palette when  //
//       they need to render colors on monitors with only 256 colors    //
//       (also called 8-bit color monitors).                            //
//       The 6x6x6 web palette provides very quick color index lookup   //
//       and can be used for good quality convertion of images into     //
