If the number of unique colors in an image is less than or equal to the number the workstation can support, the image is displayed in an X window. Otherwise the number of colors in the image is first reduced to match the color resolution of the workstation before it is displayed. <p> This means that a continuous-tone 24 bits-per-pixel image can display on a 8 bit pseudo-color device or monochrome device. In most instances the reduced color image closely resembles the original. Alternatively, a monochrome or pseudo-color image sequence can display on a continuous-tone 24 bits-per-pixel device. <p> To help prevent color flashing on X server visuals that have colormaps, <strong>animate</strong> creates a single colormap from the image sequence. This can be rather time consuming. You can speed this operation up by reducing the colors in the image before you "animate" them. Use <strong>mogrify</strong> to color reduce the images to a single colormap. See <strong>mogrify(1)</strong> for details. Alternatively, you can use a Standard Colormap; or a static, direct, or true color visual. You can define a Standard Colormap with <em>xstdcmap</em>. See <strong>xstdcmap(1)</strong> for details. This method is recommended for colormapped X server because it eliminates the need to compute a global colormap. </td></tr></table> <p> <i><a href="#top">Back to Contents</a></i> </p> <table BORDER=0

I/O performance to files accessed over a network may benefit significantly by tuning this option. Larger values are not necessarily better (they may be slower!), and there is rarely any benefit from using values larger than 32768. Use convert's <strong>-verbose</strong> option in order to evaluate read and write rates in pixels per second while keeping in mind that the operating system will try to cache files in RAM.</td></tr></table> <table BORDER=0 WIDTH="94%"> <tr> <td width="3%"><br></td> <td ALIGN=LEFT BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> <img SRC="images/right_triangle_option.png" ALT=">" BORDER=0 height=14 width=15><b><font face="Helvetica, Arial" ><font color="#00B04F"><font size="+1"> MAGICK_LIMIT_DISK </font></font></font></b></td></tr></table> <table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8"> <tr><td width="6%"><br></td><td>Maximum amount of disk space allowed for use by the pixel cache.</td></tr></table> <table BORDER=0 WIDTH="94%"> <tr> <td width="3%"><br></td> <td ALIGN=LEFT BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> <img SRC="images/right_triangle_option.png" ALT=">" BORDER=0 height=14 width=15><b><font face="Helvetica, Arial" ><font color="#00B04F"><font size="+1"> MAGICK_LIMIT_FILES </font></font></font></b></td></tr></table> <table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8"> <tr><td width="6%"><br></td><td>Maximum number of open files.</td></tr></table> <table BORDER=0 WIDTH="94%"> <tr> <td width="3%"><br></td> <td ALIGN=LEFT BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> <img SRC="images/right_triangle_option.png" ALT=">" BORDER=0 height=14 width=15><b><font face="Helvetica, Arial" ><font color="#00B04F"><font size="+1"> MAGICK_LIMIT_MAP </font></font></font></b></td></tr></table> <table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8"> <tr><td width="6%"><br></td><td>Maximum size of a memory map.</td></tr></table> <table BORDER=0 WIDTH="94%"> <tr> <td width="3%"><br></td> <td ALIGN=LEFT BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> <img SRC="images/right_triangle_option.png" ALT=">" BORDER=0 height=14 width=15><b><font face="Helvetica, Arial" ><font color="#00B04F"><font size="+1"> MAGICK_LIMIT_MEMORY </font></font></font></b></td></tr></table> <table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8"> <tr><td width="6%"><br></td><td>Maximum amount of memory to allocate from the heap.</td></tr></table> <table BORDER=0 WIDTH="94%"> <tr> <td width="3%"><br></td> <td ALIGN=LEFT BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> <img SRC="images/right_triangle_option.png" ALT=">" BORDER=0 height=14 width=15><b><font face="Helvetica, Arial" ><font color="#00B04F"><font size="+1"> MAGICK_TMPDIR </font></font></font></b></td></tr></table> <table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8"> <tr><td width="6%"><br></td><td>Path to directory where GraphicsMagick should write temporary files.
