Thank you very much, Adam. I have made a slightly messy diagram
including some of what you and Alan have posted, I have yet to explore
in depth the parts related to Events so I could not extend that part
yet. I am sharing mostly in the hopes that it can be useful to instruct
other beginners to

what is 8 bit color depth visual's format?
If it's a PseudoColor visual, which is the most common type for 8-bit,

This was my biggest difficulty yet it was under my nose this whole time,
thank you very much, Alan.

While that's common, it's not the only one, and you have to check the bitmasks
to see which bits are red, green, and blue, especially if dealing with
big-endian vs. little-endian machines.
what is 8
Thank you very much Adam, I have written a small diagram as an exercise,
I would appreciate if someone could tell me if this is correct:
