NAME
       gpick - advanced color picker


SYNOPSIS
       gpick [FILE]


DESCRIPTION
       gpick starts an application and opens FILE if it is specified

OPTIONS
       -v, --version
              Print version information.

       -g, --geometry
              Window geometry.

       -p, --pick
              Pick a color. You can insert the color at point to the clipboard
              by pressing CTRL-C. To hide the floating instance, press ESC.

              When this option is used, gpick is left running in the
              background, so that all other floating instances don't start a
              new process. If closing the process is needed, then use the -s
              flag.

       -s, --single
              Pick one color and exit.

       -o, --output
              Output picked color.

       -c, --converter-name
              Converter name used for floating picker mode.  Available
              converters are "color_web_hex", "color_css_rgb" and
              "color_css_hsl".

       --no-newline
              Output picked color without newline.

       --no-start
              Do not start if not running already.


EXAMPLES
       Here are some gpick usage examples

       gpick -o -s

       Opens a floating instance (i.e. it is not left run in the background)
       and send the selected color to STDOUT.

       gpick -o -s -c color_css_hsl | xclip -sel c

       Inserts the selected color into the CLIPBOARD using the CSS HSL
       notation.
