To get started, lets display an image in the JPEG format:</p> 62 63 <pre> 64 display rose.jpg 65 </pre> 66 67 <p>To tile a slate texture onto the root window, use:</p> 68 69 <pre> 70 display -size 1280x1024 -window root slate.png 71 </pre> 72 73 <p>To display a visual image directory of all your JPEG images, use:</p> 74 75 <pre> 76 display 'vid:*.jpg' 77 </pre> 78 79 <p>The display program defaults to the X screen resolution. To display vecotr formats at their intended size, override the default resolution:</p> 80 81 <pre> 82 display -density 72 drawing.svg 83 </pre> 84 85 <p>You can find additional examples of using <code>display</code> in <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-graf/">Graphics from the Command Line</a>. Further discussion is available in <a href="https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-graf2/">More Graphics from the Command Line</a> and <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/">Examples of ImageMagick Usage</a>.</p> 86 87 88 <h2 class="magick-header"><a id="options"></a>Option Summary</h2> 89 90 <p>The <code>display</code> command recognizes these options.
