Interactive image display program for the X Window System

Science

Not tested on a device yet. What that means

ximtool in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own ximtool package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so ximtool should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.

Everything runs on the device's own processor, with no GPU compute, and instruments attached over USB are not visible to Linux apps. More about science apps in Breadstick.

About ximtool

From the project's description

Ximtool provides an image display capability to remote client applications for IRAF using the standard imtool/iis image display protocol. The image display server allows a number of image frame buffers to be created and displayed. The client can read and write data in these frame buffers. Any frame or combination of frames can be displayed. Various display options are provided, e.g., zoom and pan, flip about either axis, frame blink, windowing of the display, and colortable enhancement.

From the project's AppStream metadata in Debian's ximtool package, under MIT.
