9.6;lcm (load_color_map) *DM*, revision 1.0, 87/03/20
LCM (LOAD_COLOR_MAP) -- Load a color map.
usage:  lcm [-p pathname]


FORMAT

  LCM [-p pathname]


  LCM  loads a color map from a file which specifies a set of color map entries.
  Each entry establishes an association between an  index  and  a  color  value.
  When the DM is initially loaded, it sets the node's color map from the file in
  /sys/dm/color_map.

  If no pathname is given, LCM loads the color map from /sys/dm/color_map.    In
  this  case,  all  16  colors (that is, color entries for color slots 0-15) are
  reloaded.  If you specify a pathname, then LCM reads the given file and  tries
  to load the colors associated with the indexes.

  NOTE:    IF  there are direct mode graphics programs running that have changed
  the color values for color slots 0-15, then the execution of this command will
  change the colors in these windows as well as resetting the DM's colors.


OPTIONS

  -Ppathname          Specify  file  which  contains  the  color values for red,
                     green, and blue.    The  format  of  this  file  should  be
                     identical  to  the  DM's color map file, /sys/dm/color_map.
                     For more information about the format of this file,  please
                     refer  to the manual "Programmer's Guide to DOMAIN Graphics
                     Primitives".


EXAMPLES

     1. Load the DM's color map found in the file /sys/dm/color_map.

            Command: lcm

     2. Load the color map specified in the file my_colormap.

            Command: lcm -p my_colormap
