 _pg_getpalette()        Get palette colors and characteristics

 #include   <pgchart.h>

 short _pg_getpalette(palette);
 paletteentry _far *palette;            Paletteentry variable

    _pg_getpalette() gets the presentation graphics palette colors,
    line styles, fill patterns, and plot characters for all palettes.
    The pointer palette points to an array of palette structures,
    each one of which looks like this:

        typedef struct {
        unsigned short color;
        unsigned short style;
        fillmap        fill;
        char           plotchar;
        } paletteentry;

    Returns:         0 for success; _BADSCREENMODE otherwise.

    Portability:     MS-DOS only, true MDPA, CGA, EGA, MCGA, or VGA video
                     compatibles

    This program puts a variety of Presentation Graphics charts on the
