xstdcmap(1X)                                         xstdcmap(1X)



NAME
     xstdcmap - defines standard colormap properties

SYNOPSIS
     xstdcmap [-all] [-best] [-blue] [-default] [-delete map] [-
     display display] [-gray] [-green] [-help] [-red] [-verbose]

DESCRIPTION
     xstdcmap selectively defines standard colormap properties.
     You should run xstdcmap from a your X startup script to
     create standard colormap definitions that facilitate sharing
     of scarce colormap resources among clients.  Where possible,
     colormaps are created with read-only allocations.

   Options
     The xstdcmap command accepts these options:

     -all    Indicates that all six standard colormap properties
             should be defined on each screen of the display.
             Not all screens support visuals under which all six
             standard colormap properties are meaningful.  The
             xstdcmap command determines the best allocations and
             visuals for the colormap properties of a screen. Any
             previously existing standard colormap properties are
             replaced.

     -best   Indicates that the RGB_BEST_MAP should be defined.

     -blue   Indicates that the RGB_BLUE_MAP should be defined.

     -default
             Indicates that the RGB_DEFAULT_MAP should be de-
             fined.

     -delete map
             Specifies that a standard colormap property should
             be removed.  The map argument can be any one of
             these: default, best, red, green, blue, or gray.

     -display display
             Specifies the host and display to use.  See X(1X)
             for details.

     -gray   Indicates that the RGB_GRAY_MAP should be defined.

     -green  Indicates that the RGB_GREEN_MAP should be defined.

     -help   Displays a summary of the command syntax.  Any un-
             supported option also causes xstdcmap to display
             this summary.

     -red    Indicates that the RGB_RED_MAP should be defined.

     -verbose
             Causes xstdcmap to print logging information as it
             parses its input and defines the standard colormap
             properties.

   Environment variables
     The xstdcmap command uses this environment variable:

     DISPLAY Specifies the default host, display number, and
             screen.
