gifcolor - generate color test-pattern GIFs

gifcolor [-v] [-b /background/] [-h] [/colormap-file/]

A program to generate color test patterns. Feed it a color map file (as generated, say, by the -s option of gifclrmp) and it will generate a GIF containing lines of the form.

    Color %-3d: [%-3d, %-3d, %-3d]:

where the first number is the zero-based color index, and the triple is the indexs [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 GIFs background color will be blank.

-v

Verbose mode (show progress). Enables printout of running scan lines.

-b

Set the images backround color to a given numeric index.

-h

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

If no colormap file is specified, the color map will be read from stdin.
