 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.
