NAME
xstdcmap - X standard colormap utility
SYNOPSIS
xstdcmap [-all] [-best] [-blue] [-default] [-delete map] [-display
display] [-gray] [-green] [-help] [-red] [-verbose]
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
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 standard colormap property should
be removed. mapP may be one of: default, best, red, green,
blue, or gray.
-display display
This option specifies the host and display to use; see X(1).
-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.
