CLI Image viewer: top left, no resize.
 

I need to test a new LCD monitor. What program can display a png image
with the top left pixel of the image in the top left pixel of the
screen, without resizing the image? Thus, if the image is larger than
the screen the bottom and right will be cut off. A CLI approach would
be best. Thanks.

I'd probably go with xli or xloadimage.

Since your discription precludes a window border, I'd suggest something
that puts an image on the root window, with a window manager that gets
right out of your way (e.g. no toolbar) such as (I think) openbox (one
of the 'boxen at least).

Thanks, you are right. xli and xloadimage both display borders. It
seems that xloadimage has a onroot option, but I could not get it to
display an image with onroot.

I would really rather not install another windows manager on this poor
girl's computer, is there another option? I don't mind a GUI app if
need be, but I cannot find anything that does what I thought would be
a rather simple function!

Is there any window manager installed?

If yes, you could try gpicview (in lenny). It has a windows border, but
if you click "1" for no resizing and then the fullscreen icon for
fullscreen, it will fill the screen (except for the scrol bars to the
right and bottom)

On etch there is also gqview, which is less heavy than others. Here '1'
and 'f' switch to 1:1 and fullscreen, respectively. Use the arrow keys
to get the top right corner right.

HTH,

Johannes

Unfortunately, those scrollbars interfere.

That's it! This does exactly what I need! Thanks!

If I understand what you ask correctly, you can apt-get install zgv,
It's a cli tool I just learned about, reading the linux cookbook.

Doesn't it require "X" ?

Interesting; On my Lenny box -- 'aptitude show' says "Not a real Package" LOL

But;

aptitude search zgv
p xzgv - Picture viewer for X with a thumbnail-based selector


Now my question is; Which Debian distro is it available from ?

Thanks.
