The only mode available is 320x200x8 if your video card doesn't support Vesa mode. For a complete description of the available mode on the display, type nview -help (and use it with -d option's) For example with my Diamond S3 864, "nview -d3 back.gif" use the 640x480x15 display. With the -pxx, you take the best display who match arguments. (Example: nview -p640x480x24 back.gif) -p0x0x0 choose the best display for the bitmap.

You can use -visual id (id is the visual number seeing with nview -help). By default, nview display the bitmap and wait for a mouse click or Escape. With the -w, Nview create one window per bitmap. Nview works with pipe, in this case the input format must be specified: cat img.tga | nview -f2 stdin You will need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable with the path where the libraries are. By default 'install' put the libraries in /usr/local/lib. NCONVERT ======== Nconvert is the multi-format converter. Type nconvert -help for available option.

If a problem occurs, use the -in option. Nconvert is able to make transformation * To convert GIF files to JPEG files : nconvert -out jpeg -truecolors *.gif * To convert JPEG files to GIF files : nconvert -out gif -dither -colors 256 *.jpeg * To resize : nconvert -out tga -resize 510 230 *.jpeg nconvert -out tga -ratio -resize 510 0 *.jpeg nconvert -out tga -ratio -resize 0 510 *.jpeg nconvert -out tga -resize 200% 200% *.jpeg You can use it with image's sequence.
