DESCRIPTION

xied command is a utility that monitors the reading in of images under X Window System from image readers such as the NWP-534/540/548, NWP-5601/02, and provides the user with the ability to edit or process these images, if necessary.  The image from the image reader can be read in and displayed on the screen, sent to the printer or saved as a file through interactive procedures using the mouse.  It is also possible to edit or process input images from image readers or files and then save the result to a file.

NOTES

When performing editing operations, the visual class and number of bits of the image data become equivalent to or below those of the display board currently in use.  Therefore, be cautious when you edit image data of a higher quality than your display board supports. 
In the case of PseudoColor or DirectColor, the color map of this tool are used for all manipulated images. This must be kept in mind when reading in image data containing many similar colors.
