10. Graphical Applications

You can get the following Applications in the kdegraphics distributions.

Stable applications are relatively bug free and come in source and binary formats.

Unstable versions change daily and are only in source form, meaning you must compile them to get a working version. Remember these are unstable and might not even compile. If you have a problem with an unstable application report the problem and it will most likely be fixed in a future snapshot.

Kview is an image viewer that displays the following formats: JPEG, GIF, XPM, XBM PNM, BMP, PCX, ILBM, TGA and EPS. KView supports drag and drop with other KDE applications.

Display Manager

The list box

The list of all images you have loaded into Kview. You can select images to be displayed by using command line: kview $KDEDIR/share/wallpapers/* This opens Kview with all the installed wallpapers on your system.

Once Kview is running you can use drag and drop with the filemanager to deposit images into the list box. The other two methods of loading an image are the File Open button and the File -> Open menu option.

To display an image in the list box, double-click on it and an Image Window will open with the image.

Image Window(s)

Pressing the right mouse button on an image brings up a menu with the following options:

Zoom

If you want to display the image in greater detail or at a smaller size use one of the zoom factors: -50%, -10%, +10%, +50%.
