NAME

xwud − image displayer for X

SYNOPSIS

xwud [-debug] [-help] [-inverse] [-in file] [-display display]

DESCRIPTION

Xwud is an X Window System window image undumping utility.  Xwud allows X users to display window images that were saved by xwd in a specially formatted dump file.  The window  image  will  appear  at  the coordinates of the original window from which the dump was taken.  This is a crude version of a more advanced utility that has never been written.  Monochrome dump files are displayed on a color monitor in the default foreground and background colors. 

OPTIONS

-help Print out a short description of the allowable options. 

-in file This option allows the user to explicitly specify the input file on the command line.  If no input file is given, the standard input is assumed. 

-inverse Applies to monochrome window dump files only. If selected, the window is undumped in reverse video. This is mainly needed because the display is ‘write white’, whereas dump files intended eventually to be written to a printer are generally ‘write black’. 

-display display
This option allows you to specify the server to connect to; see X(1). 

ENVIRONMENT

DISPLAY
To get default display.

FILES

XWDFile.h
X Window Dump File format definition file.

BUGS

Does not attempt to do color translation when the destination screen does not have a colormap exactly matching that of the original window.
