COLORVIEW(1)							  COLORVIEW(1)

NAME
     colorview - display list of X11 colors and show selected color

SYNOPSIS
     colorview [ -browse ] [ -display dpy ] [ -geometry geom ]
	       [ -name name ] [ -text ] [ file | - ]

DESCRIPTION
     Colorview is an X11 program that displays a color ``patch'' and a list of
     color names from an X11 rgb database. The color for a name is displayed
     by clicking the left mouse button over the color name.

     Command-line arguments are:

     -browse   only lists the colors; the Accept and Apply buttons are not
	       displayed.

     -display dpy
	       specifies the X server to contact; see X(1).

     -geometry geom
	       specifies the preferred size and position of the window; see
	       X(1).

     -name name
	       specifies the application name under which resources are to be
	       obtained, rather than the default executable file name.

     -text     indicates the specified file is a text file containing color
	       names and/or X #rgb color specifications, with 1 name per line.

     file      specifies the name the rgb database. The database must be in
	       ndbm(3B) format unless -text is specified.  With -text, the
	       database is read from standard input if file is ``-''.

     Colorview has three buttons when not invoked with -browse:

     Accept    Print the selected color name on the standard output and exit.

     Apply     Print the selected color name on the standard output.

     Cancel    Exits the program.

EXAMPLES
     To display only unique colors from the default rgb database:

	  showrgb | sort -u +0 -3 | awk '{print $4,$5,$6,$7}' \
	      | sort | colorview -text -
