| Then there should be these groups of color terminals, each group with the

|    screen&bitmaps:
|         x11, windows, pm, wx
|         png, gif, jpeg, ...
|         svg, cgm, wmf, ...
|         xfig, corel, ...
|    postscript and other paper printings:
|         postscript, pdf, pslatex, pstex
| 
| But both should not "differ too much". Maybe a "screen_color_sequence" 
| option for postscripts?

I don't know such option of postscript terminal.

I am sorry I can't understand many good opinions from many 
authors well, and I seem the topic have spreaded too widely. So I
explain my opinion.

In png terminal, we can set any color sequence. And some users 
want to know how to set it to the same one of x11 (or win) term.
I use the color sequence setting of png terminal, but the test
command don't make the same image because png terminal use 
original color over the user setting. 
So, I think I will be able to set simply if png terminal has the
color loop option.

Is not useful to introduce such looping option (limitation of use
of colors) to png terminal ?
