man imdisplay (Commandes) - generate/display/save composite images interactively
NAME
imdisplay - generate/display/save composite images interactively
SYNOPSIS
imdisplay file [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
imdisplay is a S-Lang / Gtk utility which accepts an arbitrary number of images as input and displays them stacked upon one another, respecting transparency. The rendered result may be easily tiled or scaled, as well as automatically scrolled for images too large to fit reasonably within your display. imdisplay may be used as either a self-contained executable script or as a S-Lang function. When invoked as function (e.g. from the slsh prompt or a S-Lang script) the input images may be specified as either filenames, raw S-Lang arrays, or GdkPixbufs. When invoked from the operating system command line the input images must be filenames.
imdisplay supports a wide variety of input file formats, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, XPM, TIFF, animations, and (optionally) the FITS file format popular in astronomy. The rendered result may also be saved to a variety of formats, including JPEG, PNG, and FITS. The range of supported formats depends upon how Gtk and SLgtk were compiled.
