Simple Viewer GL is a simple and tiny image viewer based on OpenGL.
The primary goal for writing Simple Viewer GL is to create an image viewer, which only has the most basic features required for fast image viewing. It has some vi-like key bindings and works nicely with tiling window managers (such as Ion3 and Notion).
Supported formats: PNG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PSD, AI, EPS, XCF (GIMP image format), GIF, SVG, TIFF, TARGA, ICO, ICNS (Apple Icon Image), BMP, PNM, DDS, XWD, SCR (ZX-Spectrum screen), XPM, WebP, OpenEXR.
- Lightweight and fast: utilize hardware-accelerated video card;
- Support embedded ICC profiles;
- GIF animation support;
- GIMP XCF support;
- Adobe PSD format support;
- Adobe AI, EPS formats preview support;
- SVG format support;
- Exif support;
- Very simple interface;
- Suitable for default image viewer for the desktops and laptops;
- Minimal lib dependency: look library requirements below;
- Desktop independent: doesn't require any specific desktop environment;
- Open source, licensed under GNU GPL;
Simple Viewer GL has two modes of operation: image viewer and image info mode. The default is image mode, in which only the current image is shown. In image info mode pixel info and rectangular selection available. This mode useful for brief resource description.
