dispcol

This is a Unix script to show you what all these colours correspond to on your display. It takes a file of RGB colour names and creates a file of O draw commands that can be later displayed with the draw command.

Example:
%  dispcol rgb.txt \verb|>| rgb_obj.o 
%  cat rgb_obj.o 
begin coltst
text_colour alice_blue
text   -10.0     5.8 0.0 alice_blue
text_colour aliceblue
text   -10.0     5.6 0.0 aliceblue
text_colour antique_white
text   -10.0     5.4 0.0 antique_white
      [Output edited]
text_colour yellow
text     0.5    -1.8 0.0 yellow
text_colour yellow_green
text     0.5    -2.0 0.0 yellow_green
text_colour yellowgreen
text     0.5    -2.2 0.0 yellowgreen
end_object
%

In O you would use the 2 files produced in the above examples by issuing the following commands after starting O:

 
 O>  read rgb.o
 O>  dra rgb_obj.o 
 O>  cen_xyz 0. 0. 0.

There should be a text object drawn with different colours.
