IDLgrPalette Properties

IDLgrPalette objects have the following properties in addition to properties inherited from any superclasses. Properties with the word "Yes" in the "Get" column of the property table can be retrieved via IDLgrPalette::GetProperty. Properties with the word "Yes" in the "Init" column of the property table can be set via IDLgrPalette::Init. Properties with the word "Yes" in the "Set" column in the property table can be set via IDLgrPalette::SetProperty.
