ImageMagick, an X11 image processing and display utility, is now available
on expo.lcs.mit.edu as contrib/ImageMagick.tar.Z. After any initial bug
reports are fixed, I will submit the utilities to comp.sources.x.

Display
Display is a machine architecture independent image processing and
display program. It can display any image in the MIFF format on
any workstation display running an X server. Display first
determines the hardware capabilities of the workstation. If the
number of unique colors in the image is less than or equal to the
number the workstation 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 resolution of the workstation before it
is displayed.
This means that a continuous-tone 24 bits/pixel image can display
on a 8 bit pseudo-color device or monochrome device. In most
instances the reduced color image closely resembles the original.
Alternatively, a monochrome or pseudo-color image can display on a
continuous-tone 24 bits/pixels device.
Import
Import is an X Window System window dumping utility. Import allows
X users to store window images in a specially formatted dump file.
This file can then be read by the Display utility for redisplay,
printing, editing, formatting, archiving, image processing, etc.
The target window can be specified by id or name or be selected by
clicking the mouse in the desired window. The keyboard bell is
rung once at the beginning of the dump and twice when the dump is
completed.
XtoPS
XtoPS is an X Window System window dumping utility. XtoPS reads an
image from any visible window on an X server and outputs it to
encapsulated Postscript file. You can view this file with any
Postscript compatible viewer or printer. The image is displayed in
color on viewers or printers that support color Postscript,
otherwise it is displayed as grayscale. The target window can be
specified by id or name or be selected by clicking the mouse in the
desired window. The keyboard bell is rung once at the beginning of
the dump and twice when the dump is completed.
