This utility will view several types of images under X11, or load
images onto the root window.  The current version supports:

    CMU Window Manager raster files
    Faces Project images
    Fuzzy Bitmap (FBM) images
    GEM bit images
    GIF images
    G3 FAX images
    JFIF-style JPEG images
    McIDAS areafiles
    MacPaint images
    PC Paintbrush (PCX) images
    Portable Bitmap (PBM, PGM, PPM) images
    Sun monochrome rasterfiles
    Sun color RGB rasterfiles
    Utah Raster Toolkit (RLE) files
    X pixmap files
    X10 bitmap files
    X11 bitmap files
    X Window Dump (except XYPixmap, TrueColor and DirectColor)

A variety of options are available to modify images prior to viewing.
These options include clipping, dithering, depth reduction, zoom
(either X or Y axis independently or both at once), brightening or
darkening, and image merging.  When applicable, these options are done
automatically (eg a color image to be displayed on a monochrome screen
will be dithered automatically).
