Initializing the Colormap with xinitcolormap The xinitcolormap client initializes the X colormap. Specific X colormap entries (pixel values) are made to correspond to specified colors. An initialized colormap is required by applications that assume a predefined colormap (for example, many applications that use Starbase graphics). xinitcolormap has the following syntax: xinitcolormap [] where the are: -f Specifies a file containing a colormap. -display Specifies the server to connect to. -c Only the first count colors from the colormap file will be used if this parameter is specified. -k or -kill Deallocate any colormap entries that were allocated by a previous run of xinitcolormap. xinitcolormap choses a colormap file in the order shown below. Once one is found, then the other sources aren't searched. 1. The command line option [-f ]. 2. .Colormap default value. 3. The xcolormap file in /usr/lib/X11. 4. If no colormap file is found, this default colormap specification is assumed - black (colormap entry 0), white, red yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta (colormap entry 7). xinitcolormap should be the first client program run at the start of a session in order to assure that colormap entries have the color associations specified in the colormap file. Sometimes you may encounter this X toolkit warning: X Toolkit Warning: cannot allocate colormap entry for 94c4d0 where "94c4d0" is a color specified in the application running. If this occurs, it means that you have probably reached the limit of colors for your graphics card/display combination. Executing xinitcolormap may solve the problem.
