xstdcmap - X standard colormap utility
xstdcmap
[-all] [-best] [-blue] [-default] [-delete map] [-display display] [-gray] [-green]
[-help] [-red] [-verbose]
The xstdcmap utility can be used to selectively
define standard colormap properties. It is intended to be run from a user's
X startup script to create standard colormap definitions in order to facilitate
sharing of scarce colormap resources among clients. Where at all possible,
colormaps are created with read-only allocations.
The following options
may be used with xstdcmap:
- -all
- This option indicates that all six standard
colormap properties should be defined on each screen of the display. Not
all screens will support visuals under which all six standard colormap
properties are meaningful. xstdcmap will determine the best allocations
and visuals for the colormap properties of a screen. Any previously existing
standard colormap properties will be replaced.
- -best
- This option indicates
that the RGB_BEST_MAP should be defined.
- -blue
- This option indicates that
the RGB_BLUE_MAP should be defined.
- -default
- This option indicates that the
RGB_DEFAULT_MAP should be defined.
- -delete map
- This option specifies that
a specific standard colormap property, or all such properties, should be
removed. map may be one of: default, best, red, green, blue, gray, or all.
- -display display
- This option specifies the host and display to use; see
X(7x)
.
- -gray
- This option indicates that the RGB_GRAY_MAP should be defined.
- -green
- This option indicates that the RGB_GREEN_MAP should be defined.
- -help
- This option indicates that a brief description of the command line arguments
should be printed on the standard error. This will be done whenever an
unhandled argument is given to xstdcmap.
- -red
- This option indicates that
the RGB_RED_MAP should be defined.
- -verbose
- This option indicates that xstdcmap
should print logging information as it parses its input and defines the
standard colormap properties.
- DISPLAY
- to get default host and
display number.
