.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Colors
presents a grid showing the colors in the current color map.
If the display is true color,
.I colors
shows a grid of the RGBV color map
(see
.IR color (6)).
.PP
Clicking mouse button 1 over a color in the grid will display the map index for that color,
its
red, green, and blue components,
and the 32-bit hexadecimal color value as defined in
.IR allocimage (2).
If the
.B -x
option is specified, the components will also be listed in hexadecimal.
.PP
The
.B -r
option instead shows, in the same form, a grey-scale ramp.
.PP
A menu on mouse button 3 contains a single entry, to exit the program.
.PP
On 8-bit color-mapped displays,
.I getmap
loads the display's color map (default
.BR rgbv ).
The named
.I colormap
can be a file in the current directory or in the standard repository
.BR /lib/cmap .
It can also be a string of the form
.B gamma
or
.BI gamma N\f1 ,
where
.I N
is a floating point value for the gamma, defining the contrast for a monochrome map.
Similarly,
.B rgamma
and
.BI rgamma N
define a reverse-video monochrome map.
Finally, the names
.B screen
or
.B display
or
.B vga
are taken as synonyms for the current color map stored in the display hardware.
