What is xloadimage
Xloadimage is a utility which will view many different types of images under X11, load images onto the root window, or dump processed images into one of several image file formats.

These options include clipping, dithering, depth reduction, zoom (either X or Y axis independently or both at once), brightening or darkening, and image merging.
