Set or View the Graphics Palette
Description
This function is used to view or manipulate the color
palette which is used when a col= has a numeric index.
If value has length 1 it is taken to be the name of
a built in color palette. If value has length greater
than 1 it is assumed to contain a description of the colors
which are to make up the new palette (either by name or
by RGB levels).
If value is omitted or has length 0, no change is made
the current palette.
Currently, the only built-in palette is "default".
