The 'pxdraw' program, whose availability I posted a little while back,
will perform this function, it allows you to center an image on the
screen in a screen-filling background (your choice of r,g,b color).

It also has an option for doing the same thing in the 'video area'
i.e. the lower-left quarter of the screen.

To recap the earlier posting:

Several useful image conversion/display routines are available
(as exectubles only) from gauguin.princeton.edu int the file
pub/pxtools.tar.Z.  The utilities read image files in the following
formats:
  TIFF, GIF, SGI, PBM, Xwd, Sun, Alias, Targa, HDF, and sim

they can be displayed on the IRIS screen, converted to SGI or TIFF
storage formats, or converted to an Encapsulated PostScript page
description (rgb or grayscale).  There's even a few manual pages.

For reasons of fear and loathing the utilities are available only
for the SGI platform and only as executables.
