NAME
xwud - image displayer for X
SYNOPSIS
xwud [-in file] [-noclick] [-geometry geom] [-display display] [-new] [-std <maptype>] [-raw] [-vis <vis-type-or-id>] [-help] [-rv] [-plane
number] [-fg color] [-bg color]
OPTIONS
If a bitmap image (or a single plane of an image) is displayed, this option can be used to specify the color to display for the 0 bits in
the image. This option allows you to specify the server to connect to; see X(1X). If a bitmap image (or a single plane of an image) is
displayed, this option can be used to specify the color to display for the 1 bits in the image. This option allows you to specify the size
and position of the window. Typically you will only want to specify the position, and let the size default to the actual size of the image.
Print out a short description of the allowable options. This option allows the user to explicitly specify the input file on the command
line. If no input file is given, the standard input is assumed. This option forces creation of a new colormap for displaying the image.
If the image characteristics happen to match those of the display, this can get the image on the screen faster, but at the cost of using a
new colormap (which on most displays will cause other windows to go technicolor). Clicking any button in the window will terminate the
application, unless this option is specified. Termination can always be achieved by typing 'q', 'Q', or ctrl-c. You can select a single
bit plane of the image to display with this option. Planes are numbered with zero being the least significant bit. This option can be
used to figure out which plane to pass to xpr(1X) for printing. This option forces the image to be displayed with whatever color values
happen to currently exist on the screen. This option is mostly useful when undumping an image back onto the same screen that the image
originally came from, while the original windows are still on the screen, and results in getting the image on the screen faster. If a bit-
map image (or a single plane of an image) is displayed, this option forces the foreground and background colors to be swapped. This may be
needed when displaying a bitmap image which has the color sense of pixel values 0 and 1 reversed from what they are on your display. This
option causes the image to be displayed using the specified Standard Colormap. The property name is obtained by converting the type to
upper case, prepending RGB_, and appending _MAP. Typical types are best, default, and gray. See xstdcmap(1X) for one way of creating Stan-
dard Colormaps. This option allows you to specify a particular visual or visual class. The default is to pick the "best" one. A particu-
lar class can be specified: StaticGray, GrayScale, StaticColor, PseudoColor, DirectColor, or TrueColor. Or Match can be specified, meaning
use the same class as the source image. Alternatively, an exact visual id (specific to the server) can be specified, either as a hexadeci-
mal number (prefixed with 0x) or as a decimal number. Finally, default can be specified, meaning to use the same class as the colormap of
the root window. Case is not significant in any of these strings.
DESCRIPTION
The xwud program is an X Window System image undumping utility. xwud allows X users to display in a window an image saved in a specially
formatted dump file, such as produced by xwd(1X).
ENVIRONMENT
To get default display.
FILES
X Window Dump File format definition file.
