I posted this query in the General forum but did not get a response. I tried to draw a Mandelbrot set as part of my learning curve of graphics programming, only to be disappointed at run time, by the error message "your monitor does not support palettes", (same message with Julia sets).

I haven't come across this before...whats this palettes business? Is it a monitor issue/graphics card problem???

Can anyone enlighten this learner please?
Thanks
