NAME

imageview −  display TIFF file images on an X11 display

SYNOPSIS

imageview filename.RC[-d host: number] [-g geometry] [-o orientation] [-s scale]

DESCRIPTION

imageview starts a viewer that displays TIFF file images on an X11 display.  This viewer features an OSF /Motif graphical user interface for viewing images and performing basic manipulation functions such as zoom and rotate.  imageview does not provide image processing functions. 

filename is the absolute or relative pathname of the file containing the TIFF images to be displayed.  filename can contain ~, *, and ?  pattern specifiers which are resolved using standard HP-UX rules.  If filename resolves to more than one file, imageview displays only 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 not specified, imageview uses the value of the DISPLAY environment variable. 

-g geometry Specifies the position and maximum size of the viewer window when an image is first displayed.  To allow room for the viewer controls, the viewer window is larger than the image window.  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 absent, imageview creates a window that matches the image size.  If the image is too large for the display, imageview creates the largest possible window that retains the aspect ratio of the image. 

-o orientation Sets the orientation of the image before displaying it where 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 absent, -o portrait is used. 

-s scale Sets the scaling factor of the image when first displayed while preserving the aspect ratio of the image.  scale is one of the following:

fit-to-window Scale the image so that the entire image fits in the window. 

actual-size Scale the image to approximate its actual physical size when printed. 

If the -s option is absent, -s fit-to-window is used. 

EXAMPLES

Display the first image in the first file found in the images subdirectory of the home directory.  Rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise and scale to the actual size. 

imageview ~/images/* -o landscape -s actual-size
