NAME

       colortest-python - Display color test chart and convert between color values

SYNOPSIS

	 colortest-python

DESCRIPTION

       Displays 256, 88 and 16 color tables depending on what the terminal supports. Also provides for conversion between 256 and 88 color values.

       The program automatically detects 8, 16, 88, 256 color capabilities (via ncurses) and displays the appropriate color charts. Program can
       display the colors as blocks or 2d cubes optionally with color values overlaid in int or hex values, it can show the full rgb text string
       and show the display with a vertical (default) or horizontal orientation.

       In addition to the color charts it can also convert between 256 and 88 color values. This can be useful when converting various terminals
       like between urxvt and xterm-256.

       The goal of this program was to provide the functionality of all the various Perl and sh scripts in one place with some bells and whistles.

OPTIONS

       -b, --block
	   Display as block format (vs cube) [default].

       -c, --cube-slice
	   Display as cube slices (vs block).

       -e NUMBER, --88to256=NUMBER
	   Convert (expand) 88 color value NUMBER to an 256 color value.

       -h, --help
	   Display sort help.

       -n, --numbers
	   Include color escape numbers on chart.

       -l, --rgb
	   Long format. RGB values as text.

       -p, --padding
	   Add extra padding (helps discern colors).

       -r NUMBER, --256to88=NUMBER
	   Convert (reduce) 256 color value NUMBER to an 88 color value.

       -v, --vertical
	   Display with vertical orientation [default].

       --version
	   Show program's version number and exit

       -x, --hex

XCOLORS(1)						      General Commands Manual							XCOLORS(1)

NAME

       xcolors - display all X11 color names and colors

SYNOPSIS

       xcolors [ -start color ] [ -near color ] [ -distance howfar ]

DESCRIPTION

       xcolors reads the rgb.txt file that defines the color names the X server knows and displays the colors found.

       At  the top of the window is a sample region containing text.  By clicking on the color names, the color of the sample text can be changed.
       Mouse button 1 changes the foreground; button 2 changes the background.	The text can also be edited.

       Typing ``q'' exits the program.

OPTIONS

       In addition the the usual X Toolkit options, xcolors understands these command line options:

       -start name
	      specify a color name to start with; colors before this one in the rgb.txt file are skipped.  This option is useful if there are more
	      colors than will fit on your screen or in your colormap.

       -rgbfile filename
	      specify an alternate color database file to read.

       -near nearcolor
	      only show colors near this one in the RGB space.	All colors within a sphere in the RGB-space centered on nearcolor are displayed.

       -distance howfar
	      defines  how  close  colors  have  to  be to nearcolor to be displayed.  This option sets the radius of the sphere used by the -near
	      option.  The scale is such that the RGB cube is 256 units on a side.  The default is 64.

ACTIONS

       set-foreground([color])
	      Set the foreground color of the sample region.  If no color is provided, the color is taken from the  border  color  of  the  widget
	      where the action occurred.

       set-background([color])
	      Same as set-foreground() but sets the background color.

       quit() Exit xcolors.

RESOURCES

       Xcolors has a few top-level application resources that allow customizations that are specific to xcolors.

       startColor (classStartColor)
	      See the -start option.

       rgbFile (classRgbFile)
	      See the -rgbfile option.

       nearColor (classNearColor)
	      See the -near option.

       nearDistance (classNearDistance)
	      See the -distance option.

WIDGET HIERARCHY

       Knowing	the name and position in the hierarchy of each widget is useful when specifying resources for them.  In the chart below, the class
       and name of each widget is given.

       Xcolors xcolors
	    Paned panes
		 AsciiText sample
		 Viewport viewport
		      Box colors
			   Label colorname
			   Label colorname
			   .
			   .
			   .

FILES

       /etc/X11/rgb.txt
	      X color names and values.

BUGS

       Assumes that all names for the same color are consecutive in the rgb.txt file.

       Because xcolors cannot read the server's color name database, the color names it uses may not match those in  the  server.   This  is  most
       likely to happen if xcolors is run from a remote host.

       The program would be faster if it used gadgets instead of widgets for the color spots.
