index of matte color in palette

[sanderton]

Does anyone have a quick way of finding the index of the matte color in the palette? I could always loop through the entire color palette to find which index holds the matte color, but I was wondering if there is a C++ API function.

I have a 256 color image, with a transparent color. I'm using matteColor() to get the color, but I'd like to now get the index number from the palette.

Thanks,
sanderton

IM does NOT deal with index numbers of a pallette. It generates them as needed.

If you like that you will need to use some tool specific for the format you are working with.
