Calling images from command line?

[Immocation]

Hey guys,

I Googled this topic and was not able to find a clean, quick way of doing this. The most promising utility would convert a .pdf to a .html file and display it that way. Is this truly the best method?

I'm trying to run a demo for some people, and I will have about 4 screens, all with a different processor and just the command line available. I'd like to automate a method for displaying the images by just using the command line, but if this is not at all doable, then I'll settle for any (quick) method if calling and displaying images.

Perhaps I'm just reading the results I've been getting from my searches wrong, but surely there must be an easy, clean way to call images from the CL!

Thank you.

It's possible. But first, I have one question.

When you say "by just using the command line", what exactly do you mean? Are you using a terminal inside X or are you using pure text command line?

If you are using X, then there's no problem, but if you are using a text console, without X, you are going to need to have framebuffer enabled to display images.

In any case, I am not too sure what you are asking for. Do you need a tool that can display images on framebuffer?
