💖 wxpyimgview(1grass) — GRASS User's Manual 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the wxpyimgview(1grass) era. this is the little cutie that stares at your BMPs for you.

✨ NAME ✨

wxpyimgview — literally just views BMP images from the PNG driver. that's the whole job. she's an icon, she's a legend, and she's very good at it. 💅

🎀 KEYWORDS 🎀

display, graphics, raster

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

🌸 Flags:

  • --help — prints the usage summary, aka the "what do i even do" cheat sheet
  • --verbose — verbose module output, so she tells you everything she's doing
  • --quiet — quiet module output, she goes silent mode, no thoughts head empty
  • --ui — force launching the GUI dialog. yes bestie, force it

🌈 Parameters:

  • image=name [required] — the name of the input image file. you gotta give her this one, no cap
  • percent=integer — percentage of CPU time to use. default: 10

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so wxpyimgview is a simple wxWidgets image viewer for 32-bpp BMP images — the exact kind of BMP that the PNG and cairo drivers can make. and the display? it's continually refreshed. she never stops watching. she's locked in. 🔥

🌟 NOTES 🌟

bestie. listen. the display driver must be configured to map the file, with GRASS_RENDER_FILE_MAPPED=TRUE.

why tho? because that keeps the file at a constant size instead of getting truncated every single time it's updated. no shrinking mid-vibe-check. this is not optional, fr fr. 🙈

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

  • PNG driver
  • cairo driver
