.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Colors are described by their red, green, and blue
|
|
light intensities, in an
|
|
.B RGB
|
|
datum:

Black is represented by zero in all three positions and

white has the maximum

value in all three positions.

A color map is an array of
|
|
.BR RGB s,
|
|
of length
|
|
.if t \x'-.8n'2\u\s-1\fIdepth\fP\s+1\d,
|
|
.if n 2^\fIdepth\fP,
|
|
giving the colors for pixels 0, 1, 2, etc.
|
|
On displays with color mapped pixels
|
|
(typically 8-bit displays),
|
|
one retrieves RGB color information
|
|
by treating the pixel data as an offset
|
|
into the color map.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Readcolmap
|
|
reads the color map for the given display into the provided
|
|
.IR map ,
|
|
which must have enough space to hold it.
|
|
.I Writecolmap
|
|
associates the given color map with the given display, if possible.
|
|
(The hardware might not allow this.)
|
|
Both return 0 on success, or \-1 on error, setting
|
|
.IR errstr .
|
|
.PP
|
|
Changing the hardware color map does not change
|
|
the color map used by the
|
|
.IR draw (2)
|
|
operator to convert between
|
|
mapped and true color or greyscale images,
|
|
which is described in
|
|
.IR color (6).
