      display
             Display is a machine architecture independent image
             and display program.  It can display an image on
             any workstation display running an X server.  Dis�
             play can read and write many of the more popular
             image formats (e.g. JPEG, TIFF, PNM, Photo CD,
             etc.).
      import Import reads an image from any visible window on an
             X server and outputs it as an image file.  You can
             capture a single window, the entire screen, or any
             rectangular portion of the screen.  You can use the
             display utility for redisplay, printing, editing,
             formatting, archiving, image processing, etc. of the
             captured image.
      animate
             Animate displays a sequence of images on any work�
             station display running an X server.  Animate first
             determines the hardware capabilities of the work�
             station.  If the number of unique colors in an
             image is less than or equal to the number the work�
             station can support, the image is displayed in an X
             window.  Otherwise the number of colors in the
             image is first reduced to match the color resolu�
             tion of the workstation before it is displayed.
      montage
             Montage creates a composite image by combining sev�
             eral separate images.  The images are tiled on the
             composite image with the name of the image option�
             ally appearing just below the individual tile.

      convert
             Convert converts an input file using one image for�
             mat to an output file with a differing image for�
             mat. By default, the image format 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.  If
             file has the extension .Z, the file is decoded with
             uncompress.

      mogrify
             Mogrify transforms an image or a sequence of
             images.  These transforms include image scaling,
             image rotation, color reduction, and others.  The
             transmogrified image overwrites the original image.
      identify
             describes the format and characteristics of one or
             more image files.  It will also report if an image
             is incomplete or corrupt.  The information dis�
             played includes the scene number, the file name,
             the width and height of the image, whether the
             image is colormapped or not, the number of colors
             in the image, the number of bytes in the image, the
             format of the image (JPEG, PNM, etc.), and finally
             the number of seconds it took to read and process
             the image.

      combine
             Combine combines images to create new images.

      xtp    Xtp is a utility for retrieving, listing, or print�
             ing files from a remote network site, or sending
             files to a remote network site.  Xtp performs most
             of the same functions as the ftp program, but does
             not require any interactive commands.  You simply
             specify the file transfer task on the command line
             and xtp performs the task automatically.
