NAME

print_montbls − prints out the monitor calibration tables present in a profile

SYNOPSIS

print_montbls  profile_name [curve_file]

AVAILABILITY

SUNWkcspg

DESCRIPTION

print_montbls prints out monitor calibration tables in a profile. 

The user must supply the full path name for the monitor profile which is to be accessed.  The program will open(2) the file and pass the file descriptor to the KCMS library. 

OPTIONS

profile_name
 
causes the program to open(2) the profile_name and pass in the file descriptor to the KCS library.  Required.

curve_file
 
causes the program to take the monitor calibration tables it has read from profile_name, linearly interpolate to get 256 values for each R, G, and B channel, normalize to a range of 0.0 to 1.0, and write these values out to a file to be used for profile creation and upate.  Optional.

EXAMPLES

The following example:

example% print_montbls /etc/openwin/devdata/profiles/TrueColor0x24:0.0

print the monitor calibration tables for a local calibrated true color visual

example% print_montbls /usr/openwin/etc/devdata/profiles/kcmsEKsony1604.mon curvedata.out

store the monitor calibration tables, interpolated and normalized, out to a file for use by other programs. 

ENVIRONMENT

KCS_PROFILES may be set to the path name of a directory containing personal profiles.  The library will search this directory if the environment variable exists.
