</p>
<span id="Description-30"></span><h4 class="unnumberedsubsec">Description</h4>
<p>The <b>tk</b> command provides access to miscellaneous
elements of Tk’s internal state.
Most of the information manipulated by this command pertains to the
application as a whole, or to a screen or display, rather than to a
particular window.
The command can take any of a number of different forms
depending on the <i>option</i> argument. The legal forms are:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><b>tk :colormodel </b><i>window</i><span class="roman"> ?</span><i>newValue</i>?</dt>
<dd><p>If <i>newValue</i> isn’t specified, this command returns the current
color model in use for <i>window</i>’s screen, which will be either
<b>color</b><span class="roman"> or </span><b>monochrome</b>.
If <i>newValue</i><span class="roman"> is specified, then it must be either </span><b>color</b>
or <b>monochrome</b> or an abbreviation of one of them;
the color model for <i>window</i>’s screen is set to this value.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>The color model is used by Tk and its widgets to determine whether
it should display in black and white only or use colors.
A single color model is shared by all of the windows managed by one
process on a given screen.
The color model for a screen is set initially by Tk to <b>monochrome</b>
if the display has four or fewer bit planes and to <b>color</b> otherwise.
The color model will automatically be changed from <b>color</b> to
<b>monochrome</b> if Tk fails to allocate a color because all entries
in the colormap were in use.
An application can change its own color model at any time (e.g. it
might change the model to <b>monochrome</b> in order to conserve
colormap entries, or it might set the model to <b>color</b>
to use color on a four-bit display in special circumstances), but
an application is not allowed to change the color model to <b>color</b>
unless the screen has at least two bit planes.
