Hi, list! I want to know if there's a handy way to pass predefined colors, either RGB or CMYK, e.g. those in svg or crayola, to Metafun's bitmapimage. Say, something like:
\startMPpage
% svg's gold definition
draw bitmapimage(2, 2, "ffd700 ffd700 ffd700 000000") scaled 3cm;
\stopMPpage
using "gold" instead of its definition so that I can set bitmap image colors by name rather than numbers. In a similar vein, I wonder if something analogous is possible for ConTeXt's \bitmapimage macro. Thank you in advance. it's mostly about 'what interface to use' and 'how is that documented and remembered at all'
