Name

gif2x11 — display GIF files under X window system

Synopsis

gif2x11 [-v] [-p PosX PosY] [-d display] [-f] [-h] [gif-file]

Options:

-v

Verbose mode (show progress). Enables printout of running scan lines.

-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.

If no GIF file is given, gif2X11 will try to read a GIF file from stdin. Note: this program does not read the X resource data base.
