GXDITVIEW(1)GXDITVIEW(1)NAMEgxditview - display gtroff output files
SYNOPSISgxditview [-toolkitoption ...] [-option ...] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The gxditview program displays gtroff output on an X display. It uses
the standard X11 fonts, so it does not require access to the server
machine for font loading.
If filename is -, gxditview will read the standard input.
The left mouse button brings up a menu with the following entries:
Next Page
Display the next page.
Previous Page
Display the previous page.
Select Page
Select a particular numbered page specified by a dialog box.
Print Print the gtroff output using a command specified by a dialog
box. The default command initially displayed is controlled by
the printCommand application resource, and by the -printCommand
option.
Open Open for display a new file specified by a dialog box. The
file should contain gtroff output. If the filename starts with
| it will be taken to be a command to read from.
Quit Exit from gxditview.
The n, Space and Return keys are bound to the Next Page action. The p,
BackSpace and Delete keys are bound to the Previous Page action. The q
key is bound to the Quit action. The r key is bound to the Rerasterize
action which rereads the current file, and redisplays the current page;
if the current file is a command, the command will be reexecuted.
The paperlength and paperwidth commands in the DESC file specify the
length and width in machine units of the virtual page displayed by
gxditview.
OPTIONS
Gxditview accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options
along with the additional options listed below:
-help This option indicates that a brief summary of the allowed
options should be printed.
-page This option specifies the page number of the document to be
displayed.
-backingStore backing-store-type
Redisplay of the gtroff output window can take upto a second or
so, this option causes the server to save the window contents
so that when it is scrolled around the viewport, the window is
painted from contents saved in backing store. backing-store-
type can be one of Always, WhenMapped or NotUseful.
-printCommand command
The default command displayed in the dialog box for the Print
menu entry will be command.
-resolution res
The gtroff output file will be displayed at a resolution of res
dpi, unless the DESC file contains the X11 command, in which
case the device resolution will be used. This corresponds the
Dvi widget's resolution resource. The default is 75.
-filename string
The default filename displayed in the dialog box for the Open
menu entry will be string. This can be either a filename, or a
command starting with |.
