GHOSTVIEW(1) GHOSTVIEW(1) NNAAMMEE _g_h_o_s_t_v_i_e_w - View PostScript documents using ghostscript SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS gghhoossttvviieeww [filename] or gghhoossttvviieeww [-monochrome] [-grayscale] [-color] [-[no]title] [-[no]date] [-[no]locator] [-[no]labels] [-resolution _d_p_i] [-dpi _d_p_i] [-xdpi _d_p_i] [-ydpi _d_p_i] [-magstep _n] [-[no]safer] [-[no]quiet] [-arguments _a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s] [-[no]center] [-por- trait] [-landscape] [-upsidedown] [-seascape] [-[no]swap] [-letter] [-tabloid] [-ledger] [-legal] [-statement] [-exec- utive] [-a3] [-a4] [-a5] [-b4] [-b5] [-folio] [-quarto] [-10x14] [-force] [-forceorientation] [-forcemedia] [-[no]openwindows] [-[no]ncdwm] [-page _l_a_b_e_l] [-_t_o_o_l_k_i_t_o_p_t_i_o_n ...] [filename] DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN The _g_h_o_s_t_v_i_e_w program provides an X11 user interface for the _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t interpreter. _G_h_o_s_t_v_i_e_w and _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t function as two cooperating programs. _G_h_o_s_t_v_i_e_w creates the viewing window and _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t draws in it. Don't be alarmed by the number of options. Generally, one invokes _g_h_o_s_t_v_i_e_w with just one parameter, the name of the file to be previewed. If the filename is ``-'', _g_h_o_s_t_v_i_e_w will read from ``stdin''. The options provide a way to set X resources from the command line for a single invocation of _g_h_o_s_t_v_i_e_w. For that reason, discussion of the options is delayed until after the X resources are discussed. MMAAIINN WWIINNDDOOWW The main viewport is on the right side of the main window. If the page is larger than the viewport, there will be scroll bars along the bottom and right edges of the view- port. To the left of the viewport is the table of contents. If the PostScript file has document structuring convention (DSC) comments, the table of context will display the page labels (i.e. usually page numbers). To the left of the table of contents is the menu box. Each push button brings up a popup menu. Over the menu box and table of contents there are three optional labels that contain the title, date, and locator. The title label contains the document title found in the DSC comments. If no title can be found, the filename is used in its place. The date label contains the document date found in the DSC comments. If no date can be found, the last modified date of the file is used in its place. Since the title and date labels may be clipped by the main viewport, the date and title labels are push but- tons that bring up a popup window with the title or date. These popup windows also show the ``document'' icon when the displayed string comes from the DSC comments. The locator shows the location of the cursor in the viewport. The loca- tion is expressed in the default user coordinate system. 1 GHOSTVIEW(1) GHOSTVIEW(1) The locator is useful for measuring bounding boxes. Within the main viewport the mouse cursor is a ``target'' when _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t is doing work. The cursor is a ``cross hair'' when _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t is idle. When moving to another page in a document, it is generally best to wait for _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t to become idle. Otherwise, the current _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t process must be killed and the overhead of read- ing the prologue is incurred again. _G_h_o_s_t_v_i_e_w will check to see if the file has been modified just before it displays a page or when the application is deiconified. If the file has changed, it will reopen the file. Clicking anywhere within the viewport will popup a zoom win- dow. The window is centered about the location that was clicked. Clicking with the first mouse button pops up a low resolution zoom window. Clicking with the second mouse but- ton pops up a medium resolution zoom window. Clicking with the third mouse button pops up a high resolution zoom win- dow. The cursor in the zoom window will display a ``tar- get'' or ``cross hair'' depending on the state of _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t. The locator reports the position of the cursor in the zoom windows as well as the main viewport. In the table of contents, the first and third mouse button function exactly as they do in a Text widget. That is the first mouse button selects text and the third mouse button extends selections. However, clicking on a page label with the second mouse button will cause that page to be shown. The page being displayed is marked with a '<' in the right margin of the table of contents. PPOOPPUUPP WWIINNDDOOWWSS There are several additional windows that may appear. The _c_o_p_y_r_i_g_h_t window will appear whenever copyright information is requested. The _i_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n window appears whenever the _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t process writes to ``stdout'' or ``stderr''. Whenever there is an error in the PostScript program, the stack trace will appear in this window. When _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t is invoked without the quiet option, informational message regarding the state of _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t will appear in the _i_n_f_o_r_- _m_a_t_i_o_n window. The _c_o_p_y_r_i_g_h_t and _i_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n windows can be dismissed by pushing the ``Dismiss'' button. The _S_e_l_e_c_t _F_i_l_e dialog widget will appear when you wish to open or save a file. The _S_e_l_e_c_t _F_i_l_e dialog widget allows an X11 user to select a file by typing the path or by brows- ing in directory listings and selecting entries with the mouse. The space bar can be pressed to complete filenames, and tilde is used for home directories. All the usual key 2 GHOSTVIEW(1) GHOSTVIEW(1) bindings can be used in the text widget, except for Return and Control-M, which are equivalent to pressing the OK but- ton. The path can be scrolled using the large horizontal scroll bar, or by moving the insertion cursor in the text widget. The directory entries can be scrolled using the vertical scroll bars, or by holding a mouse button down and moving out of the listing. The scrolling speed varies with the distance from the listing. The directory entries are terminated with special characters that show the type of entry, similar to the _-_F option of _l_s(1). The _S_e_l_e_c_t _F_i_l_e dialog widget is in total control until is pops down. No other controls in _g_h_o_s_t_v_i_e_w will be active during this time. MMEENNUUSS There are five buttons in the menu box. They are the FFiillee, PPaaggee, MMaaggsstteepp, OOrriieennttaattiioonn, and MMeeddiiaa buttons. There are keyboard accelerators for most of the popup menus. Be sure to read the keyboard accelerator section. FFiillee This popup menu controls file access: OOppeenn...... Pops up the Select File window in prepa- ration to open a file. The Select File widget is in total control until it pops down. Opens the file for viewing. RReeooppeenn Reopens the current file. PPrriinntt...... Pops up a dialog widget to ask for the printer name. Sends the whole document to the printer. PPrriinntt mmaarrkkeedd ppaaggeess...... Pops up a dialog widget to ask for the printer name. Sends the marked pages to the printer. If no pages have been marked, the mark procedure is called before printing and then the unmark pro- cedure is called after printing. SSaavvee mmaarrkkeedd ppaaggeess...... Pops up the Select File window in prepa- ration to save a file. The Select File widget is in total control until it pops down. Saves the marked pages in the selected file. If no pages have been marked, the mark procedure is called before saving and then the unmark proce- dure is called after saving. 3 GHOSTVIEW(1) GHOSTVIEW(1) CCooppyyrriigghhtt...... Pops up the _c_o_p_y_r_i_g_h_t window. QQuuiitt Causes _g_h_o_s_t_v_i_e_w to exit. PPaaggee This popup menu controls page access: NNeexxtt Display the next page. RReeddiissppllaayy Display the current page. PPrreevviioouuss Display the previous page. CCeenntteerr Center the page in the viewport. MMaarrkk Mark the pages that have been selected in the table of contents. If no pages have been selected, mark the current page. UUnnmmaarrkk Unmark the pages that have been selected in the table of contents. If no pages have been selected, unmark the current page. MMaaggsstteepp The Magstep menu controls the magnification at which the document is viewed. The default magstep of 0 implies no magnification (i.e. the size on the screen should match the size on paper). _G_h_o_s_t_v_i_e_w borrows the notion of magstep from TeX. The magnification is defined to be 1.2**magstep. At magstep 1, the document is magnified by 1.2. At magstep -1, the document is reduced by 1.2. The Magstep menu lists values from -5 to 5. OOrriieennttaattiioonn The Orientation menu controls the display orienta- tion. A ``dot'' appears in front of the current orientation. The first mouse button sets the default orientation. The DSC comments may specify an orientation of Portrait or Landscape that over- rides the default. In this case, a "document" appears in front of the current orientation. The second mouse button can be used to ``force'' the orientation on a document to override the DSC com- ments. If an orientation is being forced, then a ``tie fighter'' will appear in front of the cur- rent orientation. PPoorrttrraaiitt Set the orientation to Portrait. This implies no rotation. A portrait orien- tation indicates that the longest edge of the paper is parallel to the vertical (y) axis. 4 GHOSTVIEW(1) GHOSTVIEW(1) LLaannddssccaappee Set the orientation to Landscape. This implies a clockwise rotation of the paper by 90 degrees. A landscape orien- tation indicates that the longest edge of the paper is parallel to the horizon- tal (x) axis. UUppssiiddee--ddoowwnn Set the orientation to Upside-Down. SSeeaassccaappee Set the orientation to Seascape. This implies a counterclockwise rotation of the paper by 90 degrees. SSwwaapp LLaannddssccaappee Swap the meaning of Landscape and Seascape. Most of the Landscape docu- ments that I have encountered require a 90 clockwise rotation of the paper to view. However, there is no standard and some documents need to be rotated the other way. The swap landscape but- ton allows _g_h_o_s_t_v_i_e_w to automatically rotate the document the right way in response to the %%%%OOrriieennttaattiioonn comment in the PostScript file. MMeeddiiaa The entries on the Media menu set the page media. Media defined in the document appear at the begin- ning of the menu separated by a line from the standard media. A ``dot'' appears in front of the current media. The first mouse button sets the default media. The DSC comments may specify the page media that overrides the default. In this case, a "document" appears in front of the current media. The second mouse button can be used to ``force'' the media on a document to override the DSC comments. Forcing the media on an EPSF figure will override the Bounding Box. This makes is easy to view a figure with an incorrect %%%%BBoouunndd-- iinnggBBooxx comment. If a media is being forced, then a ``tie fighter'' will appear in front of the cur- rent media. Here are the standard media names and their sizes. The size is given as the width and height in PostScript points. LLeetttteerr 612 x 792 (8.5 x 11 in.) TTaabbllooiidd 792 x 1224 (11 x 17 in.) LLeeddggeerr 1224 x 792 (17 x 11 in.)

Turning on this resource avoids the problem by not using any bitmaps. You lose the functionality of having the current magstep, orientation and media marked on the popup menus. The default value is ``false''. nnccddwwmm ((class NNccddwwmm)) The Xt Intrinsics has a bug that causes bogus information in the window manager size hints. _N_c_d_w_m and possibly other window managers get con- fused by the bogus information and make the window extremely small. _T_w_m and _m_w_m ignore the bogus information. Turning on the resource avoids the problem with _n_c_d_w_m by doing things slightly dif- ferently. However, this can confuse other window managers such as _m_w_m. This bug is fixed in X11R5 fix-10. You should only set this resource if you have the problem. The default value is ``false''. GGHHOOSSTTVVIIEEWW WWIIDDGGEETT RREESSOOUURRCCEESS Certain resources in the Ghostview widget may be set by the user. These selected resources are presented below. aarrgguummeennttss ((class AArrgguummeennttss)) Additional arguments passed to the interpreter. It is convenient to name files that preload fonts here for PostScript programs that continually reload fonts while rendering a page. The default is no additional arguments. bbuussyyCCuurrssoorr ((class CCuurrssoorr)) The cursor shown when _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t is rendering to the window. The busy cursor is set to the ``tar- get'' by the application defaults. ccuurrssoorr ((class CCuurrssoorr)) The cursor shown when _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t is idle. The default cursor is the ``crosshair''. iinntteerrpprreetteerr ((class IInntteerrpprreetteerr)) The name of the executable to call to render the PostScript. It is convenient to set this resource to the path of an alternate version of ghostscript for testing. The default value is ``gs''. ppaalleettttee ((class PPaalleettttee)) Tells _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t how to restrict the palette used when rendering. The possible values are ``color'', ``grayscale'', and ``monochrome''. The default value is ``color''. 13 GHOSTVIEW(1) GHOSTVIEW(1) qquuiieett ((class QQuuiieett)) Tells _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t whether to supress informational messages. The default value is ``true''. ssaaffeerr ((class SSaaffeerr)) Tells _g_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t whether to run in ``safer'' mode. The default value is ``true''. uusseeBBaacckkiinnggPPiixxmmaapp ((class UUsseeBBaacckkiinnggPPiixxmmaapp)) Tells whether to use a backing pixmap. If this resource is false, backing store is requested on the Ghostview window. Some X servers have limited resources for large pixmaps. Also, some X servers' backing store is much faster than using a backing pixmap. You should reset this resource if your X server is one of the server types men- tioned. The default value is ``true''. xxddppii ((class RReessoolluuttiioonn)) Sets the X resolution of the window in dots per inch. You can use this resource to affect the main window. Zoom windows have their X dpi set explicitly in the program. The default value is calculated from the screen metrics. yyddppii ((class RReessoolluuttiioonn)) Sets the Y resolution of the window in dots per inch. You can use this resource to affect the main window. Zoom windows have their Y dpi set explicitly in the program. The default value is calculated from the screen metrics. GGHHOOSSTTVVIIEEWW WWIIDDGGEETT AACCTTIIOONNSS nnoottiiffyy((wwiiddtthh hheeiigghhtt xxddppii yyddppii)) The notify event is used by the ghostview applica- tion for the locator and popup zoom windows. If the width and height are 0, the event is user for the locator. Otherwise, it triggers a popup zoom window. The default width and height are 72. The default xdpi and ydpi are 300. The height will default to the width if the height is omitted. The xdpi will default to the xdpi if the ydpi is omitted.

LLIIMMIITTAATTIIOONNSS If the document does not begin with ``%!PS-Adobe-'', it does not claim conformance to the document structuring conven- tion. When these documents are encountered, the functional- ity of _g_h_o_s_t_v_i_e_w is limited to giving you scroll bars and a next page capability. Because there is no table of con- tents, skipping around the document and marking pages is impossible. 19 GHOSTVIEW(1) GHOSTVIEW(1) If there is no table of contents for the document, the popup zoom window will always show the first page.
