[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: swt decrease image quality

[Alexandre Jaquet <alexjaquet@xxxxxxxxx>]

I found a solution by getting the depth of the current image and 
recreate them

	/**
     * Retrieve an image data with an 8 bit palette for an image. We 
assume that
     * the image has less than 256 colours.
     *
     * @param imageData
     *            the imageData for the image.
     * @return the new 8 bit imageData or null if the image has more 
than 256
     *         colours.
     */
    private ImageData get8BitPaletteImageData(ImageData imageData) {
        PaletteData palette = imageData.palette;
        RGB colours[] = new RGB[256];
        PaletteData newPaletteData = new PaletteData(colours);
        ImageData newImageData = new ImageData(imageData.width,
            imageData.height, 8, newPaletteData);

        int lastPixel = -1;
        int newPixel = -1;
        for (int i = 0; i < imageData.width; ++i) {
            for (int j = 0; j < imageData.height; ++j) {
                int pixel = imageData.getPixel(i, j);

                if (pixel != lastPixel) {
                    lastPixel = pixel;

                    RGB colour = palette.getRGB(pixel);
                    for (newPixel = 0; newPixel < 256; ++newPixel) {
                        if (colours[newPixel] == null) {
                            colours[newPixel] = colour;
                            break;
                        }
                        if (colours[newPixel].equals(colour))
                            break;

                        return null;
                    }
                }

                newImageData.setPixel(i, j, newPixel);
            }
        }

        RGB colour = new RGB(0, 0, 0);
        for (int k = 0; k < 256; ++k) {
