# xglaresrc(1)

dislpay glare sources under X11

## NAME

xglaresrc - dislpay glare sources under X11

## SYNOPSIS

**xglaresrc** \[ **-n windowname** \]\[ **-c r g b** \] **pictfile** \[ **glarefile** \]

## DESCRIPTION

*Xglaresrc* displays the sources located by *[findglare(1)](/findglare/1.md)* in the picture *pictfile* by displaying their average luminance and drawing circles around them in the image. If *pictfile* is already being displayed by *[ximage(1)](/ximage/1.md),* *xglaresrc* will raise (or deiconify) this window. If *pictfile* is not being displayed, *xglaresrc* will start *[ximage(1)](/ximage/1.md)* in the background automatically. (To quit from *[ximage(1)](/ximage/1.md),* you can type 'q' in its display window.) Usually, *pictfile* will be the image that was used by *[findglare(1)](/findglare/1.md)* to locate glare sources.

If the desired image is being displayed under a different name, perhaps even by a different display program than *[ximage(1)](/ximage/1.md),* the *-n* option can be used to give an alternative  *windowname* for locating the correct display window, and the *-c* option can be used to specify a different line and text color (default 1 0 0). If the inpute *glarefile* is not given, *xglaresrc* reads from its standard input.
