Calibrator Tool Responsibilities

Calibrator Tool obtains measurements to update a monitor's color profile. It obtains the data it needs from the loadable software module.

Calibrator Tool obtains the measurement data through two data structures that it passes to the loadable module. It allocates and deallocates the memory for the structures and sets up their formats based on the number and types of X11 visuals that the X Window System supports. Using standard X11 routines, it determines which X visuals are supported on the system. Then it creates a profile copy for each visual. Finally it hands off this information formally packaged in the data structures to the loadable module.

Once it retrieves the measurement data from the loadable module, Calibrator Tool updates the X visual profile copies on the local machine.
