XV(1)XV(1)NAMExv - interactive image display for the X Window System
SYNTAXxv [options] [filename[filename...]]
DESCRIPTION
The xv program displays images on workstations and terminals running
the X Window System, Version 11. Supported image formats include PBM,
PGM, PPM, X11 bitmap, XWD, XPM, Utah Raster Toolkit RLE, PDS/VICAR,
FITS, Sun Rasterfile, GIF, PCX, Targa/TGA, BMP, WBMP, IRIS RGB, Spec‐
trum SCREEN$, PM, and optionally PNG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, JP2, TIFF, Post‐
Script, PDF, G3 fax, MAG, PIC, MAKI (640x400), PI, and PIC2.
Aside from the usage screen (available by typing 'xv -help' at the com‐
mand line), documentation for XV is now distributed only as a Post‐
Script (or PDF) file, as it has gotten enormous and is no longer very
well suited to the 'man' page format. Print a copy of the (100-ish
page) manual found in docs/xvdocs.ps. If you are unable to get the
manual to print on your printer, you may purchase a printed copy of the
XV manual. Click on 'About XV' in the program to get further informa‐
tion.
If you don't have the PostScript file, it is part of the standard XV
distribution, the latest version of which can be obtained from
http://www.trilon.com/xv/ or via anonymous ftp from ftp.cis.upenn.edu
in the directory pub/xv .
This version has been patched with the XV Jumbo Patches, available from
http://pobox.com/~newt/greg_xv.html.
