Description of Problem:

it is not possible to tell display(1) to shrink an image to fit within a
maximum size AND to specify the location of the window.  adding '>' to the
geom string defeats +x+y positioning.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Name        : ImageMagick                  Relocations: /usr/X11R6 
Version     : 5.2.7                             Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
Release     : 2                             Build Date: Mon 08 Jan 2001

How Reproducible:

display -geometry 400x200+0+0'>' some-image-bigger-than-400x200.jpg

Actual Results:


Expected Results:

man page sez
       -geometry <width>x<height>{+-}<x offset>{+-}<y off-
       set>{%}{!}{<}{>}
              Use > to change the dimensions of the image only if
              its size exceeds the geometry specification.  <
              resizes the image only if its dimensions is less
              than the geometry specification.  For example, if
              you specify 640x480> and the image size is 512x512,
              the image size does not change.  However, if the
              image is 1024x1024, it is resized to 640x480.

              When displaying an image on an X server, <x offset>
              and <y offset> is relative to the root window.



Additional Information:

xv may have been shareware or "non-free" but it did a better job than any
of the currently-shipping image viewers (of which i'm aware) at displaying
a raw, unadorned image and fitting it to the screen.
