visualinfo -- displays GL extension and visual info
SYNOPSIS
visualinfo [-display display] [-visual id]
DESCRIPTION
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
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
-h--help
Print help and exit.
-display display
Allows specifying an X display.
-visual id
Allows specifying a specific X visual.
