NAME

gxditview - display gtroff output files

SYNOPSIS

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 R - , 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 R gxditview .
The R n , Space and Return keys are bound to the Next Page action. The R 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 R gxditview .
