The xstdcmap(1) 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.
The following options can be used with xstdcmap(1):
-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. The xstdcmap(1) utility 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.
-deletemap
This option specifies that a standard colormap property should
be removed. map can be one of the following: default,
best, red, green, blue, or
gray.
-displaydisplay
This option specifies the host and display to use; see
X(5).
-gray
This option indicates that the RGB_GRAY_MAP should be
defined.
-green
This option indicates that the RGB_GREEN_MAP should be
defined.
-red
This option indicates that the RGB_RED_MAP should be
defined.
-verbose
This option indicates that xstdcmap(1) should print
logging information as it parses its input and defines the standard
colormap properties.
