imageview(1)
NAME
imageview − display, manipulate, and print image files
SYNOPSIS
/opt/image/bin/imageview [filename] [-d host: number] [-g geometry] [-o orientation]
DESCRIPTION
imageview displays bit-mapped image files on an X11 display on HP 9000 Series 700 or 800 systems. Through imageview’s graphical user interface, which is based on OSF/Motif, you can display and manipulate the image, and save certain changes you make.
If you have access to SharedPrint/UX printers, you can print the image from imageview. To set up SharedPrint/UX printers, see your administrator or setup_pr.sh(1m).
The following table lists types of image files that can be displayed, what these files contain, the filename suffix (extension) HP VUE uses to display the correct icon, and the file version supported.
| File Type | VUE File | File Contents | Version |
| Extension | Supported | ||
| TIFF | .tif | PC, scanned, and FAX images | 5.0 (6.0 for |
| TIFF JPEG) | |||
| JFIF | .jpg .jpeg | JPEG-compressed images | 8-R8 |
| GIF | .gif | xv and xgif images | 87a, 89a |
| XWD | .xwd | Pixmap images from xwd (Z format) | X11 |
| XBM | .xbm .bm | Bitonal X bitmap images | X11 |
| XPM | .xpm .pm | Color X pixmap images | 3.0 |
| BMF | .bmf | Starbase bitmap images (Z format) | 1 |
| PCX | .pcx | PC bitmap images | 3.0 |
| BMP | .bmp | PC bitmap images | 3.0 |
| IMG | .img | GEM images |
The TIFF images you can view may be in uncompressed format, or any of the following compressed formats: JPEG, LZW, G3, CCITT/G3, CCITT/G4, or Packbits.
The filename argument is an absolute or relative pathname of a file containing one or more images in a supported format and can contain * and ? pattern specifiers. If filename resolves to more than one file, imageview displays the first file found.
Options
imageview recognizes the following options:
-d host:number Specifies the display to use. Arguments are:
host Name of the host machine.
number Number of the display.
If the -d option is omitted, imageview uses the value of the DISPLAY environment variable.
-g geometry Specifies the position and maximum size of the viewer window. The viewer window consists of an image window framed by a menu and control panel. The syntax for geometry is the standard X geometry syntax; see X(1) in the reference section of Using the X Window System.
If the -g option is omitted, imageview creates a window that matches the image size. If the image is too large for the display, imageview creates the largest window possible without changing the ratio of image height to image width.
-o orientation Sets the initial orientation of the image. orientation is one of the following:
landscape Rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise before displaying.
portrait Do not rotate the image.
If the -o option is omitted, -o portrait is used.
EXAMPLES
Display the file rgb.tif in the current directory and rotate the first image found 90 degrees clockwise.
imageview rgb.tif -o landscape
