xstdcmap(X) 06 January 1993 xstdcmap(X) Name xstdcmap - X standard colormap utility Syntax xstdcmap [-all] [-best] [-blue] [-default] [-delete map] [-display display] [-gray] [-green] [-help] [-red] [-verbose] 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, color- maps are created with read-only allocations. Options The following options may be used with xstdcmap: -all indicates 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 proper- ties are meaningful. xstdcmap will determine the best alloca- tions and visuals for the colormap properties of a screen. Any previously existing standard colormap properties will be replaced. -best indicates that the RGBBESTMAP should be defined. -blue indicates that the RGBBLUEMAP should be defined. -default This option indicates that the RGBDEFAULTMAP 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 gray. -display display specifies the host and display to use; see X(X) for more infor- mation. -gray indicates that the RGBGRAYMAP should be defined. -green This option indicates that the RGBGREENMAP should be defined. -help indicates that a brief description of the command line argu- ments should be printed on the standard error. This will be done whenever an unhandled argument is given to xstdcmap. -red indicates that the RGBREDMAP should be defined. -verbose indicates that xstdcmap should print logging information as it parses its input and defines the standard colormap properties.
