+This utility will view several types of images under X11, or load
+images onto the X11 root window. Supported image formats include
+GIF, JPEG, JFIF, Faces, PNG, PPM and friends, XPM, and XWUD.
+
+A variety of options are available to modify images prior to viewing.
+These options include clipping, dithering, depth reduction, zoom
+(either X or Y axis independently or both at once), brightening or
+darkening, input gamma correction, and image merging. When applicable,
+these options are done automatically (eg. a color image to be displayed
+on a monochrome screen will be dithered automatically). A utility (xlito)
+is provided that allows these viewing options to be appended to the image
+files.
