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:
            XCMS > LookupColor cornflowerblue UNDEFINED RGB
