Just for information, Xview (xv) can be used to visualize files stored in many of the different file formats (.jpg , .gif , .png ...), under Unix. Note XG040813 : on my PC, I have problems with .gif and .png , while .jpg is OK . Different images are stored in the ~ABINIT/Infos/Images directory. The utility "convert" is a powerful tool to convert the images from one format to another. Note XG040813 : on my PC, works well to convert .png and .gif to .jpg, that I can visualize with xview .
