 Name

    xstdcmap - X standard colormap utility

 Syntax

    xstdcmap [-all] [-best] [-blue] [-default] [-delete map] [-display dis-
    play]
    [-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            This option indicates that all six standard colormap pro-
                    perties 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.

    -best           This option indicates that the RGB_BEST_MAP should be
                    defined.

    -blue           This option indicates that the RGB_BLUE_MAP should be
                    defined.

    -default        This option indicates that the RGB_DEFAULT_MAP should be
                    defined.

    -delete map     This option specifies that a standard colormap property
                    should be removed.  map may be one of: default, best,
                    red, green, blue, or gray.

    -display display
                    This option specifies the host and display to use; see
                    the X(X) man page.

    -gray           This option indicates that the RGB_GRAY_MAP should be
                    defined.

    -green          This option indicates that the RGB_GREEN_MAP should be
                    defined.

    -help           This option indicates 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.

    -red            This option indicates that the RGB_RED_MAP should be
                    defined.

    -verbose        This option indicates that xstdcmap should print logging
                    information as it parses its input and defines the stan-
                    dard colormap properties.

 Environment
