+Use the display program to display an image or image sequence on any X server. See Command Line Processing for advice on how to structure your display command or see below for example usages of the command.

We list a few examples of the display command here to illustrate its usefulness and ease of use. To get started, lets display an image in the JPEG format:
+We list a few examples of the display command here to illustrate its usefulness and ease of use. To get started, lets display an image in the JPEG format:
$magick> display rose.jpg
+$ display rose.jpg
To tile a slate texture onto the root window, use:
-$magick> display -size 1280x1024 -window root slate.png
+$ display -size 1280x1024 -window root slate.png
To display a visual image directory of all your JPEG images, use:
-$magick> display 'vid:*.jpg'
-You can find additional examples of using display in Graphics from the Command Line. Further discussion is available in More Graphics from the Command Line and Examples of ImageMagick Usage.
+$ display 'vid:*.jpg'
+The display program defaults to the X screen resolution. To display vecotr formats at their intended size, override the default resolution:
+ +$ display -density 72 drawing.svg
