Usage

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
