NAME

cedit − edit colors on the screen

SYNOPSIS

cedit number

DESCRIPTION

The frame buffer of the IRIS contains values which are translated into RGB values by a color map.  cedit changes the mapping of a color index.  Three sliders are displayed, along with a sample patch of the color being edited.  A click of the left button outside the screen area of cedit picks up a color index to be edited.  This color becomes the current color, and appears in the sample patch.  The sliders indicate components of the current color.  The color can be changed by clicking down on a slider, and adjusting its position by moving the mouse. 

The right mouse button brings up a menu that allows you to choose from among four color systems:  rgb (red-green-blue), cmy (cyan-magenta-yellow), hsv (hue-saturation-value), and hls (hue-lightness-saturation).  If you know which color system you want, you can specify number , an integer from 1 to 4 that corresponds to the position of the color system in the menu.  The cedit window then appears with the color system already set.

BUGS

If another process changes the color entry being edited, the sliders of cedit do not indicate the correct positions for that color index.
