User Commands GXDITVIEW(1)
NAME
gxditview - display groff intermediate output files
SYNOPSIS
gxditview [-toolkitoption ...] [-option ...] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The gxditview program displays the groff intermediate out-
put, see groff_out(5), on an X~display. It uses the stan-
dard X11 fonts, so it does not require access to the servermachine for font loading. There are several ways to use -
gxditview.
The groff intermediate output can be generated by groff~-Z.
This can be viewed by explicity calling gxditview filename.
If filename is -, gxditview will read the standard input; -
filename cannot be omitted. The groff intermediate outputis different for all devices. gxditview can view it for all
devices, but the quality is not always good. The best result is achieved with the X* devices for groff'soption -T. There are four X* devices: -TX75, -TX75-12, -
-TX100, -TX100-12. They differ by the X~resolution (75dpi
or 100dpi) and the used base font size (10pt or 12pt). Theyare especially built for gxditview. When using one of them
groff generates the intermediate output for this device andcalls gxditview automatically for viewing.
groff's option -X should be considered obsolete today; it
produces intermediate output for Postscript and uses -
gxditview as a viewer for it, but with a bad quality. Sim-
ply don't use it.During the run of gxditview, 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 groff intermediate output using a commandspecified by a dialog box. The default command ini-
tially displayed is controlled by the printCommandapplication resource, and by the -printCommand
option. Groff Version 1.19.2Last change: 21 October 2010 1 User Commands GXDITVIEW(1) Open Open for display a new file specified by a dialogbox. The file should contain some groff intermedi-
ate 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 reexe-
cuted. The paperlength and paperwidth commands in the DESC file specify the length and width in machine units of the virtualpage displayed by gxditview.
