GXLoadColorSet

You can use the GXLoadColorSet function to load a color set into memory.

void GXLoadColorSet(gxColorSet target);

target

A reference to the color set object to be loaded into memory.

DESCRIPTION

The GXLoadColorSet function moves a color set object from disk storage to the active graphics client heap of your application. When you or QuickDraw GX unload a color set object from memory to disk storage using the GXUnloadColorSet function, QuickDraw GX creates a 4-byte stub that remains in the graphics client heap. When you use the GXLoadColorSet function to retrieve the stored object, QuickDraw GX obtains the location of the stored color set object from the stub.
