Handling graphics files
Images are stored in bitmap files which have extensions .gif, .jpg, .png, .tiff, eps...
To display an image, e.g. file.gif, use:
display file.gif
To convert from one format to another:
convert file.jpg file.eps
The 'display', 'convert' and 'import' commands are part of the package ImageMagick, which provides other commands to manipulate bitmap graphic files. To know more, type:
man ImageMagick
