NAME

xstdcmap − X standard colormap utility. 

SYNTAX

xstdcmap [options]

DESCRIPTION

The xstdcmap utility can be used to selectively define standard colormap properties.  It is intended to be run from a user’s X startup script to create standard colormap definitions in order to facilitate sharing of scarce colormap resources among clients.  Where at all possible, colormaps are created with read-only allocations. 

OPTIONS

xstdcmap accepts the following options:

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

-bestSpecifies that the RGB_BEST_MAP should be defined. 

-blueSpecifies that the RGB_BLUE_MAP should be defined. 

-default
Specifies that the RGB_DEFAULT_MAP should be defined. 

-delete map
Specifies that a standard colormap property should be removed. map may be one of:  default, best, red, green, blue, or grey. 

-display [host]:server[.screen]
Allows you to specify the display, server, and screen to connect to. host is the hostname of the physical display, server specifies the server number, and screen specifies the screen number.  For example:

xstdcmap -display your_node:0.1

specifies screen 1 of server 0 on the display named by your_node.  Either or both the host and screen elements can be omitted.  If host is omitted, the local display is assumed.  If screen is omitted, screen 0 is assumed (and the period is unnecessary).  The colon and server are necessary in all cases. 

-green
Specifies that the RGB_GREEN_MAP should be defined. 

-greySpecifies that the RGB_GRAY_MAP should be defined. 

-helpSpecifies that a brief description of the command-line arguments should be printed on the standard error.  This will be done whenever an unhandled argument is given to xstdcmap. 

-redSpecifies that the RGB_RED_MAP should be defined. 

-verbose
Specifies that xstdcmap should print logging information as it parses its input and defines the standard colormap properties.
