gxditview - display gtroff output files
gxditview [-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.
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 |.
The following
standard X Toolkit command line arguments are commonly used with gxditview:
- -bg color
- This option specifies the color to use for the background of the
window. The default is white.
- -bd color
- This option specifies the color to
use for the border of the window. The default is black.
- -bw number
- This option
specifies the width in pixels of the border surrounding the window.
- -fg color

- This option specifies the preferred size and position
of the window.
- -display host:display
- This option specifies the X server to

This program uses the Dvi widget in the X Toolkit. It understands

of the window.
