# display-palemu(7)

Emulate palettized modes on visuals of other mode schemes

## NAME

**display-palemu** - Emulate palettized modes on visuals of other mode schemes

## SYNOPSIS

```
display-palemu: [-parent=<mode>] <target-spec>

## OPTIONS

- `-parent=<mode>`

  Force the parent target to use a specific mode, specified as a standard  LibGGI mode string (see `libggi(7)`).

- *target-spec*

  Specifies the target which to draw on (the *parent* target).  This defaults to automatic selection (just like using `ggiOpen(NULL)` when **GGI\_DISPLAY** is not set).
