Frequently asked question
Why can't bilinear or bicubic pyramids be built on a colormap image?
Answer
The only valid interpolation method to be used with a color mapped image is Nearest Neighbor. Color mapped images require that the pixels values of the generated pyramid layers remain within a discrete set of values. The pixel values are actually indexes into a color lookup table (colormap), only Nearest Neighbor guarantees that no non-existant indexes are being created during the interpolation; bilinear or bicubic will most likely generate index values that do not exist in the colormap.Code:
