Overview
This manual page documents briefly the visualinfo command.
visualinfo is a small utility that displays all available visuals, aka. pixelformats, in an OpenGL system along with renderer version information. It shows a table of all the visuals that support OpenGL along with their capabilities. The format of the table is similar to that of glxinfo on Unix systems:
visual
|
~= pixel format descriptor |
|---|---|
id
|
= visual id (integer from 1 - max visuals) |
tp
|
= type (wn: window, pb: pbuffer, wp: window & pbuffer, bm: bitmap) |
ac
|
= acceleration (ge: generic, fu: full, no: none) |
fm
|
= format (i: integer, f: float, c: color index) |
db
|
= double buffer (y = yes) |
dw
|
= swap method (x: exchange, c: copy, u: undefined) |
st
|
= stereo (y = yes) |
sz
|
= total # bits |
r
|
= # bits of red |
g
|
= # bits of green |
b
|
= # bits of blue |
a
|
= # bits of alpha |
axbf
|
= # aux buffers |
dpth
|
= # bits of depth |
stcl
|
= # bits of stencil |
