## Interactive image display

### Description

Display images on the screen of a local or remote display.

### Usage

        display(x, no.GTK=FALSE, ...)
        animate(x, ...)

### Arguments

`x`
  An object of `Image-class`.
`no.GTK`
  Set to `FALSE` to avoid using `GTK+` display.
`...`
  Reserved for future use.

### Value

An invisible `NULL`.

### Details

If available the `GTK+` display is used by default. In this mode, users can display as many images simultaneously as they want. On contrary, if the `GTK+` mode is not used, the library uses internal `ImageMagick` display functions, which due to the lack of control over their behavior are limited to displaying only one image at a time. Trying to display another image while there is one on display will result in an error message in the latter case.

It is not necessary supply the `no.GTK` argument if the library was compiled without `GTK+` support as an alternative method will be selected by default.

`animate` will use `ImageMagick` AnimateImages API function to animate a stack of images. This function is not available on Windows, same as `display` using ImageMagick API is not available on Windows, because API does not fully support this functionality.
