💖 wxpyimgview 💖

okay bestie, so this is wxpyimgview(1), straight out of the GRASS GIS User's Manual — it's the little cutie that lets you look at your BMP images from the PNG driver. yes, really, that's the whole job. and she does it gorgeously. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

wxpyimgview — views BMP images from the PNG driver. that's it, that's the girl. 🎀

🦋 KEYWORDS 🦋

display, graphics, raster

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wxpyimgview
wxpyimgview --help
wxpyimgview image=name  [percent=integer]   [--help]  [--verbose]
[--quiet]  [--ui]

🎀 Flags

  • --help — prints the usage summary so you're not out here guessing, periodt.
  • --verbose — verbose module output. she tells you everything. 🗣️
  • --quiet — quiet module output. she says nothing. mysterious. 🤫
  • --ui — force launching the GUI dialog. main character energy, on demand. 👑

💅 Parameters

  • image=name — [required] the name of your input image file. yes, you have to give her something. she's not a mind reader.
  • percent=integer — percentage of CPU time to use. default is 10. so she's polite about it. 🌸

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so wxpyimgview is a simple wxWidgets image viewer for 32-bpp BMP images — the kind that can be created with the PNG and cairo drivers, iykyk. and the way that it just… keeps refreshing the display the entire time?? it's giving obsessed, no cap. it does not stop. it will never stop. 💀

🫶 NOTES 🫶

okay listen, this part actually matters, so pay attention bestie:

the display driver must be configured to map the file, using GRASS_RENDER_FILE_MAPPED=TRUE.

why tho?? because that's what keeps the file at a constant size instead of it getting truncated every single time it's updated. so like, without it, your file is out here getting cut off mid-update and that is not the vibe. 🚫✂️

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • PNG driver
  • cairo driver
