<a href="display.html">Display</a> is a machine architecture independent

display running an <i>X</i> server. The image can be displayed as background
image of any window.</dd>

<b>Display</b> first determines the hardware capabilities of your workstation.
If the number of unique colors in an image is less than or equal to the
number the workstation can support, the image is displayed in an <i>X window</i>.
Otherwise the number of colors in the image is first reduced to match the
color resolution of the workstation before it is displayed.</dd>

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 sequence can display on a continuous-tone 24 bits/pixels
device.</dd>

The target window can be specified by id, name, or may be selected by clicking
the mouse in the desired window. If you press a button and then drag, a
rectangle will form which expands and contracts as the mouse moves. To
save the portion of the screen defined by the rectangle, just release the
button. The keyboard bell is rung once at the beginning of the screen capture
