IMGINFO(1)                                                          IMGINFO(1)


NAME
     imginfo - obtain information about image files


SYNOPSIS
     imginfo [-gui] [-nofork] [-verbose] img-file[:index] ...


DESCRIPTION
     imginfo 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.


RESOURCES
     imginfo 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.


NOTES
     The supported image file formats depend on which file formats are
     currently installed.  The installed formats can be listed with the
     imgformats(1) command.
