Hi everybody!

I have some questions concerning tools to display tiff-images. 

To my problem: 

We try to fit multiple parts of one image into a tiff-file by defining multiple
IFD's. The coordinates of each image part is given in the tags for x- and y-
position. My questions is now: Exists there a tool for displaying all images
in a tiff-file. XV3.0 displays only the first image in the first IFD. One
solution could be a tool which allows it to display these multiple images one
after another, but the ideal solution would be a tool which could reintegrate
those part images with the aid of the x- and y-positions. 

I would be happy if somebody could give me a hint! I am working in the moment
at a SUN und Solaris 5.3.

My second question is: Exists there a tool under UNIX which allows it to cut
out parts of a image. I am looking for a tool which allows to cut along a
userdefined polygon (not a rectangular cut like the grab function in XV3.0).
The images are in tiff-format!

Thank you kindly for all information you might give:-)
