-xli, xlito and xsetbg (the last two are symlinks to the first one)
-display images on X11.
+These utilities display several types of images under X11, or load images
+onto the X11 root window.
-xlito works with xloadimage to "mark" images. Take a look at the
-xlito man page for details. It also installs app-defaults for
-xloadimage if it's not there but I didn't include it in the packing
-list so it won't clobber an existing one if xloadimage is already
-installed.

+A variety of options are available to modify images prior to viewing. These
+options include clipping, dithering, depth reduction, zoom (either X or Y
+axis independently or both at once), brightening or darkening, input gamma
+correction, and image merging. When applicable, these options are applied
+automatically (e.g. a color image to be displayed on a monochrome screen
+will be dithered automatically). An utility (xlito) is provided that allows
+these viewing options to be appended to the image files.
