BACKGROUND

As a writer of several scientific image displaying tools I have always
wanted a good general purpose image display widget. The goal of the
GtkImageViewer widget is to fullfill that gap. Its interaction is a
mixture of the user interfaces of Gimp and of xv. The widget itself
handles zoom and panning. Additional functionality may be added
through callbacks.

The GtkImageViewer is perfectly suited to be used by any photo display
program and will provide a uniform interface for interacting with
images.

Currently I have released the sources under the GPL, but I am ready
to change the licence to LGPL at least for the widget, if there is
any interest.
