Name

pictx — combines the two programs showtherm and ir-X

Synopsis

pictx

DESCRIPTIONS

pictx is an interactive program that combines the two programs showtherm and ir-X . Ultimately it can read a temperature output file and display the image on the screen without having the user call two different programs.

pictx is designed to be run in an X-windows environment since it does call the program ir-X .

EXAMPLE

The following is an example from an interactive session.



$ pictx
