<para>&kview; is an image viewer for the &kde; desktop. You can view
|
||
|
|
graphics of many different formats such as &PostScript;,
|
||
|
|
<acronym>TIFF</acronym> &etc; By saving your files in a different
|
||
|
|
format than the original you can easily convert images to other
|
||
|
|
graphics formats. In addition, &kview; provides some nice little
|
||
|
|
features for doing simple image processing, like stretching/shrinking,
|
||
|
|
rotation and applying effects. You can arrange your images in a little
|
||
|
|
slideshow.</para>

<para>When you start &kview; you see the typical application layout: a
|
||
|
|
workspace containing your documents (images in this case), a menubar that
|
||
|
|
provides access to the various commands, a toolbar with shortcut buttons for
|
||
|
|
some of them and a status bar at the bottom to display status messages. When
|
||
|
|
you have the loaded an image into &kview;, there is also an additional
|
||
|
|
context menu available which is displayed by clicking your right mouse
|
||
|
|
button over the image. Below, all menu entries are explained in the order
|
||
|
|
that they appear in the menubar.</para>

<listitem><para>This option determines if the window and/or the image will be
|
||
|
|
resized after loading a new picture into &kview;. With <guilabel>Only resize
|
||
|
|
window</guilabel> enabled, the &kview; window will be resized so that it snuggly
|
||
|
|
fits around the loaded image. Notice that this can reduce the main window almost
|
||
|
|
to a vertical arrangement of menu entries if you load a small button pixmap (you
|
||
|
|
can resize the window afterwards in the usual way, of course). If your image is
|
||
|
|
pretty large (in terms of pixels), sometimes the &kview; window is resized in
|
||
|
|
such a way that the caption bar completely moves off your screen. Similarly,
|
||
|
|
<guilabel>Resize image to fit window</guilabel> resizes the image to fit into the &kview;
|
||
|
|
workspace (keeping its aspect ratio intact). And with <guilabel>Don't
|
||
|
|
resize anything</guilabel> as your choice, both &kview; and your image keep their
|
||
|
|
size. With <guilabel>Best fit</guilabel>
|
||
|
|
&kview; will resize the window to fit the image. The image will never be
|
||
|
|
scaled up but if it is too large for the screen the image will be scaled down.

<para>Since &kview; is part of the &kde; desktop you need a working &kde;
|
||
|
|
installation to use it. However, some additional libraries are needed by &kview;
|
||
|
|
to use the various graphics file formats. For example, to handle the
|
||
|
|
<acronym>PNG</acronym> format &kview; needs the corresponding library
|
||
|
|
libpng. &kview; uses the libraries that are registered by
|

kdelibs/kimgio.</para>
