NAME
xstdcmap - X standard colormap utility
SYNOPSIS
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, colormaps
are created with read-only allocations.
OPTIONS
The following options may be used with xstdcmap:
- -all
-
This option 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 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.
