How can a display show a whole color gamut chart?

[Undecided]

Hey folks....so I was reading that the new 13" Macbook Pro display can display 60% more of the color gamut. See http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/features.html. That page includes a chart showing the color gamut, and a triangular portion of it that the laptop can display.

So I started thinking, if a display can only display a portion of the color gamut, then how is it able to display a chart which includes the whole color gamut?

that is just a representation of what it can do. it's not actually displaying the color gammut.

That is just a picture of a color gamut chart.

You must be lucky and have a screen that can display the whole gamut. Mine cuts off at the triangle!

Just kidding.
