XCO(1)                           UNIX System V                           XCO(1)


NAME
      xco - display X11 color names and colors

SYNOPSIS
      xco [ -display display ] [ -name name ] [ -title title ] [ -geometry
      geometry ] [ -help ] [ -scroll number ] [ -show number ] [ -fg foreground
      ] [ -bg background ]

DESCRIPTION
      xco uses the database of standard X11 named colors to display name-color
      pairs.  Appearance is based on the X10 xcolors program.  To change the
      foreground color, click the left mouse button in the color window you
      want.  To change the background color, click the right mouse button in
      the color window you want.  Clicking the middle mouse button sets the
      colors back to the original foreground and background.  You can switch
      quickly through colors by holding down the left or right button and
      sliding the cursor through the colored windows.  More colors can be seen
      by clicking on the arrows at the bottom of the screen

      Typing a ``q'' will cause the program to exit.  Typing a ``r'' will cause
      the foreground and background colors to be swapped (aka reverse video).
