sxiv: Simple (or small or suckless) X Image Viewer sxiv is a really simple alternative to feh and qiv. Its only dependency is imlib2. The primary goal for writing sxiv is to create an image viewer, which only implements the most basic features required for fast image viewing. It works nicely with tiling window managers and its code base should be kept small and clean to make it easy for you to dig into it and customize it for your needs. Installation ------------ sxiv is built using the commands: $ make # make install Please note, that the latter one requires root privileges. By default, sxiv is installed using the prefix "/usr/local", so the full path of the executable will be "/usr/local/bin/sxiv". You can install it into a directory of your choice by changing the second command to: # PREFIX="/your/dir" make install All build-time specific settings can be found in the file "config.h". Please check and change them, so that they fit your needs. Usage ----- sxiv supports the following command-line options: -d scale all images to 100%, but fit large images into window -f start in fullscreen mode -g GEOMETRY set window position and size (see section GEOMETRY SPECIFICATIONS of X(7)) -p pixelize, i.e. turn off image anti-aliasing -q be quiet, disable warnings -s scale all images to fit into window -v print version information and exit -Z same as `-z 100' -z ZOOM scale all images to current zoom level, use ZOOM at startup Use the following keys to control sxiv: q Quit sxiv Escape Quit sxiv and return an exit value of 2 (useful for scripting) n,Space Go to the next image p,Backspace Go to the previous image g/G Go to first/last image [/] Go 10 images backward/forward +,= Zoom in - Zoom out h,j,k,l Pan image left/down/up/right (also with arrow keys) <,> Rotate image (counter-)clockwise by 90 degrees f Toggle fullscreen mode (requires an EWMH/NetWM compliant window manager) a Toggle anti-aliasing Additionally, sxiv can be controlled via the following mouse commands: Button1 Go to the next image Button2 Drag image with mouse while keeping it pressed Button3 Go to the previous image ScrollUp Pan image up ScrollDown Pan image down Shift+ScrollUp Pan image left Shift+ScrollDown Pan image right Ctrl+ScrollUp Zoom in Ctrl+ScrollDown Zoom out
