<p><b>CDisplay</b> is a <a href="Freeware" title="Freeware">freeware</a> <a href="Comic_book_archive" title="Comic book archive">comic book archive</a> viewer and sequential <a href="Image_viewer" title="Image viewer">image viewer</a> utility for <a href="Microsoft_Windows" title="Microsoft Windows">Microsoft Windows</a> used to view images one at a time in the style of a <a href="Comic_book" title="Comic book">comic book</a>. It popularized the <a href="Comic_book_archive" title="Comic book archive">comic book archive</a> file format. CDisplay was written to easily view <a href="JPEG" title="JPEG">JPEG</a>, <a href="Portable_Network_Graphics" class="mw-redirect" title="Portable Network Graphics">PNG</a> and static <a href="GIF" title="GIF">GIF</a> format images sequentially. The program was designed to be less general purpose than existing image viewer programs, and more convenient for simply viewing images sequentially.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Features">Features</h2></div>

<ul><li>Loads JPEG, PNG, and static GIF images which are automatically ordered alphabetically and presented for viewing one at a time or two at a time.</li>

<li>The images may be viewed from a folder or collected in a <a href="ZIP_(file_format)" title="ZIP (file format)">.zip</a>, <a href=".rar" class="mw-redirect" title=".rar">.rar</a>, <a href="ACE_(compression_file_format)" class="mw-redirect" title="ACE (compression file format)">.ace</a>, or <a href=".tar" class="mw-redirect" title=".tar">.tar</a> archive file.</li>

<li>Page through the images sequentially and scroll around pages with single key presses.</li>

<li>Many automatic page sizing options including choices to display one or two pages at one time. Image resizing uses <a href="Lanczos_resampling" title="Lanczos resampling">Lanczos resampling</a> for the best picture quality.</li>

<li>No <a href="Bloatware" class="mw-redirect" title="Bloatware">bloat</a> caused by non-essential general purpose image processing features.</li>

<li>Users can view the pictures as full screen (with or without mouse pointer) or in a window.</li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Files">Files</h2></div>

<p>CDisplay supports <a href="Comic_Book_Archive_file" class="mw-redirect" title="Comic Book Archive file">Comic Book Archive files</a>, archives of individual page images with the extension <i>.cbr</i>, <i>.cbz</i>, <i>.cbt</i>, or <i>.cba</i>; they are simply renamed <a href="RAR_(file_format)" title="RAR (file format)">RAR</a>, <a href="ZIP_(file_format)" title="ZIP (file format)">ZIP</a>, <a href="Tar_(file_format)" class="mw-redirect" title="Tar (file format)">TAR</a>, or <a href="ACE_(compression_file_format)" class="mw-redirect" title="ACE (compression file format)">ACE</a> archive files. The standard icon for all comic file types extension is a comic balloon. The format was made popular by CDisplay but is now used by many other programs designed for reading comics.

</p><p>CDisplay supports the display of JPEG, PNG, GIF, <a href="BMP_file_format" title="BMP file format">BMP</a>, <a href="Text_file" title="Text file">TXT</a>, and also <a href="Simple_file_verification" title="Simple file verification">SFV</a> files which confirm that the file is not corrupt, either directly or contained within archive files.

</p>

<ul><li>If a <a href=".txt" class="mw-redirect" title=".txt">.txt</a> file is within a folder or comic book archive file, it displays the comic's contents on file opening.</li>

<li>If a <a href="Simple_file_verification" title="Simple file verification">.sfv</a> file is within a folder or comic book archive file, it verifies the SFV data to confirm that the rest of the content is not corrupted.</li>

<li>Automatic colour balance and yellow reduction if desired.</li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2></div>

<p>The program was compiled using <a href="Borland_C%2B%2B_Builder" class="mw-redirect" title="Borland C++ Builder">Borland C++ Builder</a> 5.0<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and runs on 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows platforms from <a href="Windows_98" title="Windows 98">Windows 98</a> onwards.

</p><p>The source code was not made available, and the program ceased to be maintained when the author died in 2003.<sup id="cite_ref-fivebest_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-fivebest-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
