NAME

Xhips - display a HIPS image on an X11 display  

SYNOPSIS

Xhips -d display [< hips_file]  

DESCRIPTION

Xhips reads a HIPS image from standard_in and displays it using an X11 server. This display program is called getx11, which is part of the URT package. You must have this package to use Xhips. This program automatically deals with dithering gray level images for a monochrome displays. Images must be scaled to byte format.  

Mouse/key actions (normal mode)

Mouse 1 (left):
Increase zoom factor by 1, center on this pixel.
Mouse 2 (middle):
Recenter on this pixel.
Mouse 3 (right):
Decrease zoom factor by 1, center on this pixel.
Shift mouse 1:
Show value at this pixel. In B&W, just shows intensity.
Shift mouse 2:

OPTIONS

-d
gives the X11 server to contact (e.g. workstation:display_num.fb_num , unix:0.0 for a local display)

 

NOTES

Xhips is a shell script and the underlying display tool (getX11) reads Utah, RLE files. The display would be faster if getx11 were taught to read HIPS images directly.
