{{DISPLAYTITLE:_COPYPALETTE}}
The [[_COPYPALETTE]] statement copies the color palette intensities from one 4 or 8 BPP image to another image or a [[_NEWIMAGE]] screen page using 256 or less colors.


{{PageSyntax}}
:[[_COPYPALETTE]] [{{Parameter|sourceImageHandle&amp;}}[, {{Parameter|destinationImageHandle&amp;}}]]


{{PageDescription}}
* Palette Intensity settings are '''not''' used by 24/32 bit images. Use only with 4 or 8 BPP images.
* [[_PIXELSIZE]] function returns 1 to indicate that _COPYPALETTE can be used. 4 indicates 24/32 bit images.
* If {{Parameter|sourceImageHandle&amp;}} is omitted, it is assumed to be the current read page.
* If {{Parameter|destinationImageHandle&amp;}} is omitted, it is assumed to be the current write page.
* If either of the images specified by {{Parameter|sourceImageHandle&amp;}} or {{Parameter|destinationImageHandle&amp;}} do not use a palette, an [[ERROR Codes|illegal function call]] error is returned.
* If either {{Parameter|sourceImageHandle&amp;}} or {{Parameter|destinationImageHandle&amp;}} is an invalid handle, an [[ERROR Codes|invalid handle]] error is returned.
* When loading 4 or 8 BPP image files, it is necessary to adopt the color palette of the image or it may not have the correct colors!
