- :static-gray
- Each pixel value indexes a grayscale value directly.
- :grayscale
- Each pixel is an index into a color map that maps pixel
values into grayscale values. The color map can be changed by an application.
- :static-color
- Each pixel value is an index into a predefined, unmodifiable color map that maps pixel values into RGB values.
- :pseudo-color
- Each pixel is an index into a color map that maps
pixel values into RGB values. The color map can be changed by an application.
- :true-color
- Each pixel value directly contains red, green, and blue components. Use the gdk:visual-red-pixel-details function,
etc, to obtain information about how the components are assembled into a pixel value.
- :direct-color
- Each pixel value contains red, green, and blue components as for :true-color, but the components are mapped via
a color table into the final output table instead of being converted directly.
