[comp.windows.x] Needed Colortool..

james@apollo.gl.pitt.edu (05/07/90)

	I need a color tool for Xwindows.  I checked the archive site for
the newsgroup comp.sources.x, but did not find what I needed.  I need to be
able to mix RED, GREEN, and BLUE to get new colors for some other work I am
doing.  I have similiar programs under SUNVIEW, such as ICE, and was hoping 
that someone had written one for X, or at least hacked at the SUNVIEW code.
Please send responses to:

	james@apollo.gl.pitt.edu

	or post it in comp.sources.x.. I think that other people would also
be interested in such a useful tool..

	Thanks
	  Douglas

If you are using DECwindows or plan to, there already is a ColorMix widget
available that does exactly what you talk about.

Cpicker, a program written by Mike Yang of Digital Equipment
Corporation should do what you want.  I have stored it on
expo.lcs.mit.edu under /contrib.
