visualinfo(1) 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
