9.7 Backward Compatibility Issues

As HDF has evolved, a variety of internal structures have been used to store palettes, with different tags used to represent them. To maintain backward compatibility with older versions of HDF, the palette interface supported by HDF version 4.0 recognizes palettes stored using all previously-used HDF tags. A detailed description of the tags and structures used to store palettes is in the HDF Specifications and Developer's Guide v3.2 which can be found from the HDF WWW home page at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/.
