\-transparent-color color\ transparent color\ \-treedepth value color tree depth\ \-update seconds detect when image file is modified and redisplay\ \-verbose print detailed information about the image\ \-visual type display image using this visual type\ \-virtual-pixel method\ virtual pixel access method\ \-window id display image to background of this window\ \-window-group id exit program when this window id is destroyed\ \-write filename write image to a file Image Operators:\ \-auto-orient automatically orient image\ \-border geometry surround image with a border of color\ \-clip clip along the first path from the 8BIM profile\ \-clip-path id clip along a named path from the 8BIM profile\ \-colors value preferred number of colors in the image\ \-contrast enhance or reduce the image contrast\ \-crop geometry preferred size and location of the cropped image\ \-despeckle reduce the speckles within an image\ \-edge factor apply a filter to detect edges in the image\ \-enhance

resize the image\ \-roll geometry roll an image vertically or horizontally\ \-rotate degrees apply Paeth rotation to the image\ \-sample geometry scale image with pixel sampling\ \-segment value segment an image\ \-sharpen geometry sharpen the image\ \-strip strip image of all profiles and comments\ \-threshold value threshold the image\ \-thumbnail geometry create a thumbnail of the image\ \-trim trim image edges Image Sequence Operators:\ \-coalesce merge a sequence of images\ \-flatten flatten a sequence of images Miscellaneous Options:\ \-debug events display copious debugging information\ \-help print program options\ \-log format format of debugging information\ \-list type print a list of supported option arguments\ \-version print version information In addition to those listed above, you can specify these standard X resources as command line options: -background, -bordercolor, -borderwidth, -font, -foreground, -iconGeometry, -iconic, -mattecolor, -name, -shared-memory, -usePixmap, or -title. By default, the image format of \`file' is determined by its magic number. To specify a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps). Specify 'file' as '-' for standard input or output. Buttons: \ 1 press to map or unmap the Command widget\ 2 press and drag to magnify a region of an image\ 3 press to load an image from a visual image directory ## NOTE The display program defaults to the X screen resolution. To display vector formats at their intended size, override the default resolution: display -density 72 drawing.svg ## SEE ALSO [ImageMagick(1)](/ImageMagick/1.md) ## COPYRIGHT **Copyright (C) 1999-2014 ImageMagick Studio LLC.
