LCM(1)                          Domain/OS BSD                           LCM(1)




NAME
     lcm - load a color map

SYNOPSIS
     lcm [-p pathname]

DESCRIPTION
     lcm loads a color map from a file that 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 `nodedata/etc/dmdisplay/colormap.

     If no pathname is given, lcm loads the color map from
     `nodedata/etc/dmdisplay/colormap.  In this case, all 16 colors (that
     is, color entries for color slots 0-15) are reloaded.  If you specify a
     pathname, 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, the execution changes the colors in
     these windows as well as resetting the DM's colors.

OPTIONS
     -p pathname
               Specify the file that contains the color values for red, green,
               and blue.  The format of this file should be identical to the
               DM's color map file, `nodedata/etc/dmdisplay/colormap. For
               more information about the format of this file, please refer to
               the manual Programming with Domain Graphics Primitives.

EXAMPLES
     Load the DM's color map found in the file
     `nodedata/etc/dmdisplay/colormap.

     $ lcm

     Load the color map specified in the file mycolormap.

     $ lcm -p mycolormap
