This program is designed to display PDF files in a looped slideshow, although it can display any PNG images. For PDFs, it is also able to convert PDF files to PNG images.

This program requires Python 3.2.x or greater, as well as the external libraries wand and PIL. Both can be installed from PIP.

All images must be in a directory called images, a subdirectory of the directory containing viewer.py. As of now, the directories will be displayed in sorted order, as determined by Python.

Within each directory are PNG files named in the form #.png, where `# is a number. They will be displayed in numeric order.

Any PDF in the same directory as viewer.py will be converted to PNG images, numbered by page. They will be located in images/<filename minus extension>.

If you wish to use other images files, simply create a directory in images with the files named as described above. Non-numeric characters in file names will crash the program.

When viewer.py is run, it will convert (if necessary) any PDFs in the same directory. Once this is done, it will start the slideshow. The delay can be controlled by changing the delay variable. The slideshow can be ended by pressing Ctrl+Shift+R.

If viewer.py is run through the command line, the delay between slides (in milliseconds) can be specified with the --delay or -d option.
