21 .SH DESCRIPTION
22 .I Vgaimage
23 takes the RADIANCE picture file
24 .I pixfile
25 and displays it on a VGA or Super VGA card.
26 The
27 .I \-c
28 option specifies the number of colors to use (default fills color table).
29 The
30 .I \-d
31 option turns off color dithering.
32 The
33 .I \-b
34 option displays the image in black and white (greyscale).
35 The
36 .I \-m
37 option forces monochrome output.
38 The
39 .I \-g
40 option specifies the exponent used in gamma correction;
41 the default value is given by the environment variable GAMMA, or
42 2.2 if GAMMA is undefined.
43 The
44 .I \-e
45 option specifies an exposure compensation in f-stops (powers of two).
46 Only integer stops are allowed, for efficiency.
47 .PP
48 If no
49 .I pixfile
50 is given, input is read from stdin provided either the
51 .I \-b
52 or
53 .I \-m
54 option is in effect.
55 .SH COMMANDS
56 Once a picture is displayed, the user
57 may perform a number of operations.
58 Some of the operations make use of an area of interest, defined by pressing
59 a mouse button and dragging the cursor over a section of the image.
60 Pressing a button and immediately releasing it defines a single point as
61 the area of interest.
62 A command is a single character.
63 .TP 10n
64 .BR q
65 Quit program.
66 .TP
67 .BR <return>
68 Display the radiance averaged over the area of interest.
69 .TP
70 .BR l
71 Display the luminance value in the area of interest.
72 .TP
73 .BR c
74 Display the color in the area of interest.
75 .SH ENVIRONMENT
