Example (read only) files are
in directory 
.FR /n/kwee/t0/face/512x512x8 .
.LP
`Floating instruments' for editing
can be dragged with button 2 to different locations.
.LP
.I Resolution.
The tick mark on the long bar
can be moved up or down with button 1.
Printed
to the right of the bar is the current resolution\(em
a power of 2 representing the number
of file pixels across the screen image.
.LP
.I Grid.
Click button 1 at the circular button to toggle the grid.
Turning on the grid is useful sometimes to see how
fast a screen update is proceeding: it eats away the grid.
.LP
.I Write.

.LR write .
The write box has a
.L *
if a change was made to
the file since it was last written.
.LP

This instrument cancels any changes made to the file
since the last time it was written.
.LP
.I Move/Pan.
Click button 1 at one of the 5 areas of the diamond.
The middle resets the display to a
full size picture.
Left, right, up, or down will move (pan) 1/4 screen in the
corresponding direction
(useful only on zoomed pictures).
.LP
.I Zoom/Unzoom.
Click button 1 at
.L Z

Click button 3 to sweep a rectangle to paint all pixels within it.
Pick a paint value (default is white) by
clicking button 2 at the grey scale at the bottom
or at any pixel in the image.
Click button 2 at the paint box to cancel the paint mode.
.LP
.I Smear.
Pointing at a pixel with both buttons
1 and 2 down averages it with its

Typical usage: apply some white or black paint with the paint box,
then smear it.
.LP
.I Probe.
Click button 1 at the probe box
.LR P: .
Point at a pixel in the image.
The
.I x-y
coordinates and the greyscale value of the pixel will be printed.

grey scale bar to expand or compress the grey scale.

The box named 
.L sheet
prompts for a rectangle.
Sweep out the rectangle over an
area you want to manipulate, then reposition the corners
by dragging them to new locations with button 1.
Confirm the selection with button 3.

are usable while the update proceeds.
