Running PictureViewer
PictureViewer can be run in two modes, either from its menus, or from the
command line.
Normal (menus) usage:
Just type: PictView
Command line usage:
Examples:
PictView parrot.jpg
PictView \users\johnp\images\parrot.jpg
PictView c:image.tif 720
PictView bambus.bmp 640
Command line syntax:
PictView.EXE File [Width]
File - a name and an extension (may include a path) of the file to be
displayed. PictureViewer automatically chooses the best graphics mode to
display the image. You can influence this mode selection if you specify
the second optional parameter. This parameter is a number saying the width
in pixels of the graphics mode you want to display the image in. This
number can be for example: 320 for 320x200 mode, 640 (640x480), 800
(800x600), 1024 (1024x768), 1152 (1152x864) 1280 (1280x1024), 1600
(1600x1200) or any other number, but this mode width must be supported by
your video adapter !!
I would like to thank Douglas Bashford for his careful reading of all
texts in this package and corrections of my mistakes. Release of English
version of PictureViewer would be impossible without his effort.
And something for lawyers
