IMGINFO(1)IMGINFO(1)NAMEimginfo - obtain information about image files
SYNOPSISimginfo [-gui] [-nofork] [-verbose] img-file[:index] ...
DESCRIPTIONimginfo prints information about image files with formats supported by
the ImageVision Library. The information includes: image dimensions in
pixels, page size, data type, dimension order, color model, minimum and
maximum pixel values, file format, data compression and image description
if available. The following command line options are allowed:
-gui Runs in a graphical user interface mode that shows the
information in a separate window, along with a reduced view of
the image data. In this mode, only the first file argument is
shown.
-nofork Specifies that the application should run in the foreground,
when invoked from the shell. The default is to fork and run in
the background during startup. This is only relevant when -gui
is specified.
-verbose This option gives a more detailed description of the image
files; verbose is the default when only a single image file
argument is specified. When more than one file argument is
supplied, the default is to print only a single line of
information, giving the image file type and size.
In addition the standard X Window command line arguements like -geometry
and -iconic are recognized.
The optional index after a file name is useful on multi-resolution images
like Photo CD, to show information only on the desired sub-image. By
default information for all sub-images will be listed. In graphical mode
the information for each sub-image is selected via a multi-chioce button.
RESOURCESimginfo understands the following X resources:
geometry
Specifies the preferred size and location of the imgview window.
gui
nofork
verbose
If specified as True then imginfo will behave as if the command line
switch of the same name had been specified.
