>Sets a portion of the palette for the given 8-bit surface.</P
><P
>Palettized (8-bit) screen surfaces with the
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_HWPALETTE</TT
> flag have two palettes, a logical
palette that is used for mapping blits to/from the surface and a
physical palette (that determines how the hardware will map the colors
to the display). <A
HREF="sdlblitsurface.html"
>SDL_BlitSurface</A
>
always uses the logical palette when blitting surfaces (if it has to
convert between surface pixel formats). Because of this, it is often
useful to modify only one or the other palette to achieve various
special color effects (e.g., screen fading, color flashes, screen dimming).</P
><P
>This function can modify either the logical or physical palette by
specifing <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_LOGPAL</TT
> or
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_PHYSPAL</TT
>the in the <TT

parameter.</P
><P
>When <TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>surface</I
></TT
> is the surface associated with the current
display, the display colormap will be updated with the requested colors. If
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"

>SDL_SetVideoMode</A
> flags,
<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"

> will always return <SPAN

and the palette is guaranteed to be set the way you desire, even if the window
colormap has to be warped or run under emulation.</P
><P
>The color components of a
<A
