<title>Introduction</title>

<para>&kview; is an image viewer for the &kde; desktop. You can view
graphics of many different formats such as &PostScript;,
<acronym>TIFF</acronym> &etc; By saving your files in a different
format than the original you can easily convert images to other
graphics formats. In addition, &kview; provides some nice little
features for doing simple image processing, like stretching/shrinking,
rotation and applying effects. You can arrange your images in a little
slideshow.</para>

<chapter id="menus">
<title>Menu Reference</title>

<para>When you start &kview; you see the typical application layout: a
workspace containing your documents (images in this case), a menubar that
provides access to the various commands, a toolbar with shortcut buttons for
some of them and a status bar at the bottom to display status messages. When
you have the loaded an image into &kview;, there is also an additional
context menu available which is displayed by clicking your right mouse
button over the image. Below, all menu entries are explained in the order
that they appear in the menubar.</para>

fits around the loaded image. Notice that this can reduce the main window almost
to a vertical arrangement of menu entries if you load a small button pixmap (you
can resize the window afterwards in the usual way, of course). If your image is
pretty large (in terms of pixels), sometimes the &kview; window is resized in
such a way that the caption bar completely moves off your screen. Similarly,
<guilabel>Resize image to fit window</guilabel> resizes the image to fit into the &kview;
workspace (keeping its aspect ratio intact). And with <guilabel>Don't
resize anything</guilabel> as your choice, both &kview; and your image keep their
size. With <guilabel>Best fit</guilabel>
&kview; will resize the window to fit the image. The image will never be 
scaled up but if it is too large for the screen the image will be scaled down.

<para>Since &kview; is part of the &kde; desktop you need a working &kde;
installation to use it. However, some additional libraries are needed by &kview;
to use the various graphics file formats. For example, to handle the
<acronym>PNG</acronym> format &kview; needs the corresponding library
libpng. &kview; uses the libraries that are registered by
kdelibs/kimgio.</para>
