TKJPEG(1p)

💖 TKJPEG 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is literally the cutest lil man page in the whole perl/Tk docs. it's called tkjpeg and it's a tiny little JPEG viewer built with perl/Tk. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

tkjpeg — a simple JPEG viewer using perl/Tk 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tkjpeg imagefile.jpg

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you hand it a file, it shows you the file. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this is a very simplistic image viewer. and when I say simplistic I mean it in the most affectionate way possible. 🙈

here's what it does: it loads a JPEG image — and honestly, not me pointing out that it'll actually load anything for which Photo has a handler, so go off I guess — and then it drops that image into a Label for display. that's the whole pipeline. load, label, look at it. slay. ✨

it also does a lil vibe check on your display: if your display is deeper than 8-bit, it tries to find a fullcolour visual to use. 👑

but if you're rocking an 8-bit display? it uses a 4/4/4 palette. periodt. 🌈
