GXDITVIEW(1)GXDITVIEW(1)NAMEgxditview - display gtroff output files
SYNOPSISgxditview [-toolkitoption ...] [-option ...] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The gxditview program displays gtroff output on an X dis-
play. 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 appli-
cation 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 vir-
tual page displayed by gxditview.
