Now, I wouldn't expect display's GUI to have tabs, but I think it should be possible to somehow have display's window replace the content it displays upon a command. This is similar to how scite has a 'single instance mode' (see How to load new documents in a single instance of SciTE): when it is set up, you can say scite filename on the command line scite then exits in terminal - while it opens the file as new tab (so you can quickly open files on command line by using bash history and up arrow). However, what I'd like to do, is when the above command is ran in terminal, then display would both start the window, and at the same time exit then I could quickly press up arrow in terminal, and edit the settings (like -density), and repeat the now modified command line - which would likewise now exit, and the window would show the newly requested image. Stack Exchange network consists of 181 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers. then display locks in the command line, until you exit the window (or press CTRL+ C in terminal). CentOS: sudo yum update & sudo yum install ImageMagick. Debian or Ubuntu: sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get install imagemagick.

To do so, use the command listed below that corresponds to your Linux distribution.

When I use imagemagick's display from command line, say: $ display -density 150 test1.pdf If you dont have ImageMagick installed on your system, you can install it with your package manager.
