NAME

       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
