[Scummvm-devel] Bitdepth/pixel format API concerns

[Willem Jan Palenstijn]

Hi,

I was wondering, is there any situation in which an engine would want to
ask something other than:

* a 8bpp indexed mode (the current situation),
* a mode given by a specific PixelFormat (HE?), or
* any 16bpp/32bpp mode that's fast/convenient for the backend? (Gob?)

This last one might be significantly more convenient for both the engine
and the backend. In case more control is wanted, we could also add a
queryNativeFormats as was suggested earlier.
