Quantize picture:

Set Variable [ $BigImageRef ; Value: MBS("GMImage.NewFromContainer"; Test::BigImage) ]
# reduce to 20 colors, so we see the effect. Normally 256
Set Variable [ $Result ; Value: MBS( "GMImage.SetQuantizeColors"; $BigImageRef; 20) // 256 ) ]
# Enable dithering, turn off to really see the effect
Set Variable [ $Result ; Value: MBS( "GMImage.SetQuantizeDither"; $BigImageRef; 1 ) ]
# Quantize to palette colors
Set Variable [ $Result ; Value: MBS( "GMImage.SetQuantizeColorSpace"; $BigImageRef; 4 /* palette */ ) ]
# Do it!
Set Variable [ $Result ; Value: MBS("GMImage.Quantize"; $BigImageRef) ]
# Type should now be 4 for palette
Set Variable [ $Result ; Value: MBS("GMImage.GetType"; $BigImageRef) ]
# save as GIF
Set Field [ Test::Result ; MBS( "GMImage.WriteToGIFContainer"; $BigImageRef ) ]
Set Variable [ $Error ; Value: MBS("GMImage.Release";$BigImageRef) ]
