image-view displays images (PNM, PNG, JPEG, etc.) using pygame.
The primary motivation is to support viewing PNM images on OS X. Particularly, it is useful if there are a series of images captured from a camera (captured-00*.pgm), and you want to display a subset of them.
First install the pygame dependency somehow. One option is to use this fork, which avoids X11 on OS X:
$ pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/myint/pygameThen install the actual program:
$ pip install --upgrade image-viewTypical usage:
$ image-view captured-070*.pgm- Use the left and right arrow keys to navigate through images.
- Use
+/-keys to scale the image. Press0to reset.
Options:
usage: image-view [-h] [--colorize] [--little-endian] [--version]
files [files ...]
positional arguments:
files paths to images
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--colorize color 16-bit PGM images with a rainbow gradient
--little-endian interpret 16-bit PGM images as little endian; this is the
opposite of Netpbm (and ImageMagick)
--version show program's version number and exit
