DOCUMENT ID: 1043-02 SYNOPSIS: How to determine if app is running color/monochrome at runtime OS RELEASE: PRODUCT: Solaris x86 KEYWORDS: color monochrome runtime XVIEW depth XV_DEPTH DESCRIPTION: In XVIEW programming how does one determine if the application is running on color/monochrome at runtime? SOLUTION: You can get the depth of the frame using the Xview attribute XV_DEPTH. If the depth is 1, you are on a monochrome system. Anything else is either color or greyscale, and you can get the visual class using XV_VISUAL_CLASS which would allow you to determine if it is color or greyscale. DATE APPROVED: 09/15/95
