Eye of GNOME The &app; application enables you to view image files. &app; provides the following features: Support for the following image file formats: ANI - Animation BMP - Windows Bitmap GIF - Graphics Interchange Format ICO - Windows Icon JPEG - Joint Photographic Experts Group PCX - PC Paintbrush PNG - Portable Network Graphics PNM - Portable Anymap from the PPM Toolkit RAS - Sun Raster SVG - Scaleable Vector Graphics TGA - Targa TIFF - Tagged Image File Format WBMP - Wireless Bitmap XBM - X Bitmap XPM - X Pixmap The GdkPixbuf library determines the file formats that &app; can load and save. The above list describes the file formats that are supported by default, you can use plug-ins to extend this list. A variety of zoom levels and full screen viewing, with low usage of memory regardless of the zoom level. Bonobo embedding technology that enables you to embed image views in other GNOME applications. Rotation and flipping of images. Collection: Display of EXIF data, this requires libexif. Mass modification of all selected images. Special JPEG file support, this requires libjpeg and libexif: Lossless saving of rotated or flipped images. Preservation and update of EXIF data on save.

If you select this option, &app; uses bilinear interpolation. Bilinear interpolation is a simple and fast method of interpolation. When you zoom in on an image, &app; uses up to four adjacent pixels to compute the colors of the new pixels. When you zoom out of an image, &app; averages regions of color in the existing image to compute the colors of the pixels. Transparent Parts Select one of the following options to determine how &app; displays transparent parts of an image: As check pattern Displays any transparent parts of the image in a check pattern.

Use the Show next image automatically after ... seconds spin box to specify how long each image is displayed during the slide show. If you set this value to zero, the first image is displayed permanently and the other images are not displayed at all in the slide show.
