Any pixel in a HAM image can draw its color from two sources: From the
palette (just like any other picture) or from the pixel immediatelly
to the left of it!
For Example a 6 bit HAM: Every pixel uses 6 bits to determine a color
If the most signif bit is set the Least signif 4 bits point to a
color in a 16 Color Table. If the Most signif bit is not set then the
Least signif 5 bits tell the display how to change either the R, G or
B component of the previous pixel.
I am a little hazy on the details, but if it is more than curiosity
mail me a FAX number and I will send you detailed info on the
standard.
