SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

-s Setup a ICC profile for a all or a selected monitor

-s, --setup [default] Set up the X11 server with the Oyranos DB stored monitor ICC profile(s). This option is optional.

-d NUMBER , -d=NUMBER position in device list.
-x POSITION , -x=POSITION select the screen at the x position.
-y POSITION , -y=POSITION select the screen at the y position.

PROFILENAME assign a ICC profile to a monitor device

Assign a monitor ICC profile to the selected screen and store in the Oyranos DB.

-d NUMBER , -d=NUMBER position in device list.
-x POSITION , -x=POSITION select the screen at the x position.
-y POSITION , -y=POSITION select the screen at the y position.
--system-wide do system wide, might need admin or root privileges

-e, --erase release a ICC profile from a monitor device

Reset the hardware gamma table to the defaults and erase from the Oyranos DB

-d NUMBER , -d=NUMBER position in device list.
-x POSITION , -x=POSITION select the screen at the x position.
-y POSITION , -y=POSITION select the screen at the y position.
--system-wide do system wide, might need admin or root privileges

-l, --list list devices

-v increase verbosity
--short show only the ICC profiles file name
--path show the full ICC profile path and file name

--modules

list monitor modules

-f, --format [edid|icc|edid_icc] Get data

Select a data format. Possible are edid for server side EDID data, icc for a server side ICC profile and edid_icc for a ICC profile created from server side EDID. Without the -o/--ouput option the output is written to stdout.

-d NUMBER , -d=NUMBER position in device list.
-x POSITION , -x=POSITION select the screen at the x position.
-y POSITION , -y=POSITION select the screen at the y position.
-m (--device-meta-tag) switch is accepted by the -f=icc and -f=edid_icc option. It embeddes device and driver informations about the actual device for later easier ICC profile to device assignment. This becomes useful for sharing ICC profiles.
-o, --output OUT_FILENAME Write data selected by -f/--format to the given filename.

--add-edid EDID_FILENAME

Embedd EDID keys to a ICC profile as meta tag. Requires --profile.
--profile ICC_FILENAME ICC profile.
--name ICC_INTERNAL_NAME String for ICC profile internal name.

GENERAL OPTIONS

--daemon

Run as daemon to observe monitor hotplug events and update the setup.

ENVIRONMENT

DISPLAY

On X11 systems the display is selected by this variable.

OY_DEBUG

set the Oyranos debug level. Alternatively the -v option can be used.

XDG_DATA_HOME XDG_DATA_DIRS

route Oyranos to top directories containing resources. The derived paths for ICC profiles have a "color/icc" appended.

OY_MODULE_PATH

route Oyranos to additional directories containing modules.
    

EXAMPLES

Put the following in a setup script like .xinitrc:

# select a monitor profile, load the binary blob into X and
# fill the VideoCardGammaTable, if appropriate
    

oyranos-monitor

Assign a ICC profile to a screen:

oyranos-monitor -x pos -y pos profilename

Reset a screens hardware LUT in order to do a calibration:

oyranos-monitor -e -x pos -y pos profilename

Query the server side, network transparent profile:

oyranos-monitor -x pos -y pos

List all Oyranos monitor devices:

oyranos-monitor -l

Show the first Oyranos monitor device verbosely:

oyranos-monitor -l -v -d 0

Pass the monitor profile to a external tool:

iccDumpProfile -v "`oyranos-monitor -l -d 0 -c --path`"

List all monitor devices through the oyX1 module:

oyranos-monitor -l --module oyX1

Dump data in the format following the -f option:

oyranos-monitor -f=[edid|icc|edid_icc] -o=edid.bin -x=pos -y=pos -m

Embedd device informations into ICC meta tag:

oyranos-monitor --add-edid=edid_filename --profile=profilename.icc --name=profilename
