# edisplay(1)

fast image viewer

## NAME

edisplay - fast image viewer

## SYNOPSIS

**edisplay** \[**--gl**\] *file*...

**edisplay** **--help**

## DESCRIPTION

ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library. Unlike many other library frameworks it allows operation in several color spaces and bit depths natively, resulting in low memory and computational requirements.

**edisplay** loads the specified images, one by one, and displays them on a X-server (or other display device if the minimal abstracted needed is added).

In the top-left corner a tiny, shaded on-screend-display shows the current cursor position as well as the color value of the pixel.

For images including an alpha channel a checkboard is displayed in the background.
