XTESTPICTURE(1) General Commands Manual XTESTPICTURE(1) NAME xtestpicture - draw a simple monitor test pattern SYNOPSIS xtestpicture [-s[aturated]] [-d[isplay] display] [-v[ersion]] DESCRIPTION This program creates a single window covering the whole screen, and draws several test patterns in it. The window is configured to be not intercepted by a window manager and raised to the top of the window stack, so it should be the only picture on the screen at all. A couple of lines between the opposite corners, two rectangles near the border of the screen, a single rectangle, and a circle in the middle of the screen are mainly useful for convergency and linearity considerations. A box with alternating black and white vertical lines above the center of the screen, two pixels thick on the left side and one pixel thick each on the right side is intented to evaluate the sharpness and bandwidth of the monitor. Finally, there's a box containing a palette of eight colors. These are the basic CRT colors red, green, and blue, along with their mutual mixture col- ors magenta, cyan, yellow, and white, accompanied by a black rectangle to complete the series. The colors are fully saturated in the top row, i. e. with 100 % intensity and not intermixed with white, while the saturation decreases in steps of 25 % towards the bottom row, which is plain gray scale (0 % saturation). Since this color palette causes a total cost of 32 color cells, it can be avoided by starting xtestpicture with the option -s[aturated]. This will cause the program to display only fully saturated colors. The program will exit if any pointer button is pressed. Specifying the option -v[ersion] will cause the program to print its ver- sion identification to stderr and exit.
