The product ximagetools, version v3_1, has been released.  This is an
update to the existing product which contains new versions of useful
tools for generating and displaying images on an X window display.

It contains:
    * The xanim program for displaying animation files, which supports
	12 different animation formats including mpeg, Quicktime, etc.

    * The xtiff program for displaying tiff files -- "display" (see
      IMageMagick, below) can be rather slow for large tiff files (e.g. 
      scanned preprints of documents, etc.)  This utility is much faster 
      for large tiff files.

    * The ImageMagick suite for image display and manipulation -- this 
      suite supports 66 different image formats (up from only(?) 42 in the
      last release) and is faster and more robust than the previous release.
      It provides the following executables:

	animate: sequence several images into an animation
	combine: combines several images into one
	convert: change images to different formats
	display: display images on the screen and allow edits, etc.
	identify: describes image format, size, etc. of an image
	mogrify: change groups of images (e.g. get them all to use
		 the same colormap)
	montage: tile images together

    * The xfig suite for Figure editing and generation, provides
	xfig: figure editor -- can be used to update/mark up EPS 
	      (Encapsulated PostScript) files, or to generate figures from
	      scratch; will also generate TeX picture files, etc.
	fig2dev: translates .fig files to other formats
	transfig: generates Makefiles to convertsxfig .fig files to other 
		  formats using fig2dev

    * The JPEG group utilities and libraries:
	libjpeg.a: link library for jpeg image manipulation
	cjpeg: compress an image file to a JPEG file
	djpeg: decompress a JPEG file into an image
	jpegtran: convert between JPEG variants, without image loss
	rdjpegcom: display text comments in a JPEG file
	wrjpegcom: add text comments to a JPEG file

    * The MPEG group libraries (libmeg.a) for reading/manipulating
	mpeg animation files

    * The xpm libraries (libXpm.a) for reading/manipulating X11R6 
      pixmap (.xpm) files.

    * the TIFF libraries (libtiff.a) for reading/manipulating tiff files, 
      and several conversion programs (all of which can be done with 
      ImageMagic's convert program, but they're included for completeness)
