  • GLiv

GLiv is an OpenGL image viewer, image loading is done via Gdk-pixbuf bundled with GTK+-2.6, rendering with OpenGL and the graphical user interface uses GTK+ with GtkGLExt.
GLiv is very fast and smooth at rotating, panning and zooming if you have an OpenGL accelerated graphics board.

  • Requirements
    • OpenGL
    • GTK+ >= 2.6
    • GtkGLExt >= 0.7.0
  • Compilation

The usual

$ ./configure
with your prefix path, then

$ make

If you are using the Nvidia OpenGL drivers, be sure they are actually used: once GLiv is compiled,

$ ldd src/gliv | grep 'libGL\.so'

should show the path of the libGL.so from the Nvidia drivers.

  • Installation

A 'make install' as root will install gliv in /usr/local or in your prefix path.

  • Controls

ESC, q : Quit
f : Full-screen/window
+/=/- : Zoom in/in/out
n/p : Next/previous image
Pause : Start/stop the slide show
l      : Reduce the image to the window

z      : Horizontal flip
e      : Vertical flip

The first mouse button and the arrow keys will move the image unless the Control key is pressed. In which case the image will be rotated around the window center.

Your mouse wheel (if supported) will zoom the image and switch it when you press the button.

You can also zoom by dragging the mouse vertically while holding Shift and the first button.

Space and Backspace act like n and p.

Draw a rectangle with the third button and gliv will zoom in it.


The help box contains the above text, maybe translated.

Further informations can be found in the manual page.
