Graphics

The Amiga's color palette contains 4096 colors. Depending on the desired resolution and number of bitplanes, either 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 4096 of these colors may be displayed simultaneously.

The native Amiga hardware supports many graphics resolutions, both interlaced (for compatibility with NTSC video devices) and non-interlaced. Some sample resolutions are

• 640x400 non-interlaced, 16 colors out of 4096.
• 320x400 non-interlaced, 4096 colors out of 4096.
• 960x480 interlaced, 4 colors out of 64.

Amiga graphics can use full overscan, so the image goes all the way to the edges of the monitor, with no ``dead area'' surrounding the image.

Third-party products exist for 8 and 24-bit graphics.
