gif2x111

Program to display gif images under x window system.

Usage

gif2x11 [-q] [-p PosX PosY] [-d Display] [-f] [-h] gif-file

Overview

A program to display images saved as GIF files under X window system.

If no gif-file is given, Gif2X11 will try to read a GIF file from stdin.

Options

-q

Quiet mode. Defaults off on MSDOS, on under UNIX. Controls printout of running scan lines. Use -q- to invert.

-p PosX PosY

Set the position of image on screen. By default the program will prompt for position.

-d Display

What X server should be connected to.

-f

Force attempt to allocate exact colors. This usually will result in a very muddled image if not enough colors can be allocated; the rest of them will be approximated by the closest one. By default the least bits of the colors are stripped until success (in allocation) which looks much better.

-h

Print one line command line help, similar to Usage above.

Notes

This program does not read the X resource data base.
