        !            14: DESCRIPTION
        !            15:      _P_i_k_a_p_i_x takes a snapshot of an existing window, and then
        !            16:      lets you change colors in the snapshot.  This can be a con-
        !            17:      venient way to choose sets of colors for applications.
        !            18: 
        !            19:      When started, _p_i_k_a_p_i_x grabs the mouse, and waits for you to
        !            20:      select the window you want to recolor.  Clicking the right
        !            21:      button on a window selects the entire top-level window.
        !            22:      Clicking the middle button on a window selects the first
        !            23:      level subwindow under the mouse, or the top-level window if
        !            24:      there is no subwindow.  Clicking the left button on a top-
        !            25:      level window selects the lowest subwindow under the mouse,
        !            26:      or the top-level window if there is no subwindow. After a
        !            27:      few moments, a snapshot of the window will appear in the
        !            28:      same place as the original window.  Move the snapshot with
        !            29:      your window manager if you want to compare the snapshot with
        !            30:      the original window.
        !            31: 
        !            32:      As you move the cursor around in the snapshot, it will
        !            33:      change color to reflect whatever pixel it is pointing at.
        !            34: 
        !            35:      If you click the middle mouse button, you will get a popup
        !            36:      text window.  The prompt indicates the current color value
        !            37:      in hexadecimal notation as described in _X(_1).  To change the
        !            38:      color, simply type in a color name (or a color value in hex-
        !            39:      adecimal notation), followed by carriage return.  Rubout and
        !            40:      control-U can be used for editing.  To abort, simply click
        !            41:      any mouse button in the popup, or type control-C or
        !            42:      control-D.
        !            43: 
        !            44:      If you click the left mouse button, you will restore the
        !            45:      color to its value in the original snapshot.
        !            46: 
        !            47:      If you click the right mouse button, you will get a popup
        !            48:      mix window.  At the top are three squares with the red,
        !            49:      green, and blue primaries, and at the bottom is the combined
        !            50:      color and its hexadecimal notation.  Clicking the left but-
        !            51:      ton in a primary decrements its value, and clicking the
        !            52:      right button increments its value.  If you press the middle
        !            53:      button in a primary and then move around, the vertical posi-
        !            54:      tion of the mouse controls the value, with zero intensity at
        !            55:      the top of the window, and full intensity at the bottom of
        !            56:      the window; releasing the mouse button sets the final value.
        !            57:      Clicking the right button in the combined color will exit
        !            58:      the popup and change to the new color.  Clicking the middle
        !            59:      button in the combined color will restore the values to

        !            75:      ton in the combined color will restore the values to their
        !            76:      state in the original snapshot.
        !            77: 
        !            78:      Typing control-C or control-D in the snapshot will terminate
        !            79:      the program.
        !            80: 
        !            81:      By default, once the snapshot is created, it no longer
        !            82:      depends on the existence of the original window, and the
        !            83:      color in the snapshot will dynamically track the color in
        !            84:      the popup mix window.  However, a potentially large number
        !            85:      of color map entries may be required for this mode.  If not
        !            86:      enough entries are available, the ``-s'' can be used.  When
        !            87:      run with the ``-s'' option, the snapshot continues to depend
        !            88:      on colors from the original window, new colors are shared
        !            89:      when possible, and the snapshot is completely repainted
        !            90:      after every change in color.
