.SH NAME
gifcolor \- 
A program to generate color test patterns.  Feed it a color map file (as
generated, say, by the \-s otion of GifClrMp) and it will generate a GIF
containing lines of the form

.B 	Color %\-3d: [%\-3d, %\-3d, %\-3d]:


where the first number is the zero\-based color index, and the triple is the
index's [Red, Green, Blue] value.  There will be one such line for each color.
Each line will be set in a simple 8x8 font in the color it describes; thus,
any lines corresponding to the GIF's background color will be blank.

.SH USAGE

.B gifcolor [\-q] [\-b Background] [\-h] &ltColorMapFile


As gifcolor can generate huge amounts of data, ^C will kill it, but 'q' will
stop only the printing (of one of \-e, \-z, \-p), while file integrity will still
be checked.

.SH MEMORY REQUIRED

Line.

.SH OPTIONS

.IP [\-q]

 Quiet mode.  Defaults off on MSDOS, on under UNIX.  Controls printout
of running scan lines.  Use \-q\- to invert.

.IP [\-b]

 Set the image's backround color to a given numeric index.

.IP [\-h]

 Print one line of command line help, similar to Usage above.
