Current number of color planes used in the video display. A color plane is another way to represent pixel colors; instead of assigning a single RGB value to each a pixel, color planes separate the graphic into each of the primary color components (red, green, and blue), and store them in their own planes. This allows for greater color depths on 8 and 16 bit video systems. Present graphics systems have the bitwidth large enough to store color depth information, making only one color plane necessary。

视频显示中使用的当前彩色平面数。 颜色平面是表示像素颜色的另一种方式; 而不是为每个像素分配单个RGB值,颜色平面将图形分成每个主要颜色分量(红色,绿色和蓝色),并将它们存储在自己的平面中。 这样可以在8位和16位视频系统上实现更大的色深。 目前的图形系统具有足够大的位宽以存储颜色深度信息,仅需要一个颜色平面。
