display

I
Display is a machine architecture independent image processingGand display program. It can display an image on any workstation displayDrunning an X server. The image can be displayed as backgroundimage of any window. 

ADisplay first determines the hardware capabilities of yourEworkstation. If the number of unique colors in an image is less than@or equal to the number the workstation can support, the image isGdisplayed in an X window. Otherwise the number of colors in theGimage is first reduced to match the color resolution of the workstationbefore it is displayed.

FThis means that a continuous-tone 24 bits/pixel image can display on aF8 bit pseudo-color device or monochrome device. In most instances theEreduced color image closely resembles the original. Alternatively, a:monochrome or pseudo-color image sequence can display on a&continuous-tone 24 bits/pixels device.-

import

C
Import reads an image from any visible window on an XEserver and outputs it as an image file. You can capture a singleEwindow, the entire screen, or any rectangular portion of the screen. 5You can use the display utility for redisplay,)printing, editing, formatting, archiving,-image processing, etc. of the captured image.

EThe target window can be specified by id, name, or may be selected byDclicking the mouse in the desired window. If you press a button andCthen drag, a rectangle will form which expands and contracts as the>mouse moves. To save the portion of the screen defined by theFrectangle, just release the button. The keyboard bell is rung once at@the beginning of the screen capture and twice when it completes./

animate

C
Animate displays a sequence of images on any workstationGdisplay running an X server. Animate first determines theBhardware capabilities of the workstation. If the number of uniqueFcolors in an image is less than or equal to the number the workstationIcan support, the image is displayed in an X window. Otherwise theAnumber of colors in the image is first reduced to match the color5resolution of the workstation before it is displayed.

FThis means that a continuous-tone 24 bits/pixel image can display on aF8 bit pseudo-color device or monochrome device. In most instances theEreduced color image closely resembles the original. Alternatively, a:monochrome or pseudo-color image sequence can display on a&continuous-tone 24 bits/pixels device./

montage

D
Montage creates a composite by combining several separateEimages. The images are tiled on the composite image with the name of>the image optionally appearing just below the individual tile./

convert

9
Convert converts an input file using one imageGformat to an output file with a differing image format. By default, the=image format is determined by it's magic number. To specify aGparticular image format, precede the filename with an image format nameDand a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as theJfilename suffix (i.e. image.ps). Specify file as - for standardFinput or output. If file has the extension .Z, the file isdecoded with uncompress./

mogrify

F
Mogrify transforms an image or a sequence of images. These?transforms include image scaling, image rotation,=color reduction, and others. The transmogrified image%overwrites the original image.1

identify

F
Identify describes the format and characteristics of one orCmore image files. It will also report if an image is incomplete orGcorrupt. The information displayed includes the scene number, the file=name, the width and height of the image, whether the image isDcolormapped or not, the number of colors in the image, the number ofBbytes in the image, the format of the image (JPEG, PNM, etc.), andDfinally the number of seconds it took to read and process the image./

combine

8
Combine combines images to create new images.'

xtp

F
Xtp is a utility for retrieving, listing, or printing files@from a remote network site, or sending files to a remote networkGsite. Xtp performs most of the same functions as the ftpJprogram, but does not require any interactive commands. You simplyJspecify the file transfer task on the command line and xtp performsthe task automatically.
