Result of palette(n) would be a matrix, not a number, so I don't like this
syntax.

Only one triplet has to be saved into the file so that 3rd party
applications can read that gnuplot palette. That was the main idea for
implementing this feature (gnuplot palette models are really extremely
powerful).


BTW, there are also binary palette ".lut" files accepted by some
applications, e.g. ImageJ. Does somebody know their structure?
