XCMSTEST(1) X Version 11 (Release 5) XCMSTEST(1)
NAME
xcmstest - XCMS test program
SYNOPSIS
xcmstest [-display displayname]
or
xcmstest-echo [-display displayname] < cmdfile
DESCRIPTION
xcmstest was developed as a simple test interface for
testing the XCMS API library during its development.
BEFORE INVOCATION
Insure that the Screen Color Characterization Data has been
placed in the appropriate properties on the screen's root
window. To load these properties, refer to the xcmsdb
utility provided with this release.
In order to convert color names using a client-side color
name database, the database file must be specified via the
XCMSDB environment variable.
To use the sample database provided with this release set
XCMSDB as follows:
% setenv XCMSDB `pwd`/Xcms.txt
USING XCMSTEST
Upon invocation of xcmstest, you should receive a "XCMS >"
prompt. At this point you can begin entering commands.
To list the commands currently available enter "list":
XCMS > list
To receive help for a specific command enter the command
name followed by "-help". For example:
XCMS > LookupColor -help
The -echo option provides a more readable output, echoing
the command from the cmdfile. At some point in time, you
might try using some simple test cases provided with the
release (in the tc directory, e.g. test1, test2,
AllocNColor, gamutquery). For example, to use commmand file
test1, invoke xcmstest as follows:
% xcmstest-echo < tc/test1
CAVEATS
Color name strings passed to xcmstest commands cannot
contain a space. However, since spaces are ignored by the
XCMS API library, you can pass a color name with the spaces
eliminated. For example:
