NAME
mv - a troff macro package for typesetting view graphs and
slides
SYNOPSIS
mvt [-a] [options] [files]
troff [-a] [-rX1] -mv [options][files]
DESCRIPTION
This package makes it easy to typeset view graphs and
projection slides in a variety of sizes. A few macros
(briefly described below) accomplish most of the formatting
tasks needed in making transparencies. All of the
facilities of troff(1), cw(1), eqn(1), and tbl(1) are
available for more difficult tasks.
The output can be previewed on most terminals, and, in
particular, on the Tektronix 4014, as well as on the
Versatec printer. For these two devices, specify the -rX1
option (this option is automatically specified by the mvt
command -q.v. -when that command is invoked with the -T4014
or -Tvp options). To preview output on other terminals,
specify the -a option.
The available macros are:
.VS [n] [i] [d] Foil-start macro; foil size is to be
7''x7''; n is the foil number, i is the
foil identification, d is the date; the
foil-start macro resets all parameters
(indent, point size, etc.) to initial
default values, except for the values
of i and d arguments inherited from a
previous foil-start macro; it also
invokes the .A macro (see below).
The naming convention for this and the
following eight macros is that the
first character of the name (V or S)
distinguishes between view graphs and
slides, respectively, while the second
character indicates whether the foil is
square (S), small wide (w), small high
(h), big wide (W), or big high (H).
Slides are ``skinnier'' than the
corresponding view graphs: the ratio of
the longer dimension to the shorter one
is larger for slides than for view
graphs. As a result, slide foils can
be used for view graphs, but not vice
versa; on the other hand, view graphs
can accommodate a bit more text.

.Vw [n] [i] [d] Same as .VS, except that foil size is
7'' wide x 5'' high.
.Vh [n] [i] [d] Same as .VS, except that foil size is
5''x7''.
.VW [n] [i] [d] Same as .VS, except that foil size is
7''x5.4''.
.VH [n] [i] [d] Same as .VS, except that foil size is
7''x9''.
.Sw [n] [i] [d] Same as .VS, except that foil size is
7''x5''.
.Sh [n] [i] [d] Same as .VS, except that foil size is
5''x7''.
.SW [n] [i] [d] Same as .VS, except that foil size is
7''x5.4''.
.SH [n] [i] [d] Same as .VS, except that foil size is
7''x9''.
.A [x] Place text that follows at the first
indentation level (left margin); the
presence of x suppresses the 1/2 line
spacing from the preceding text.
.B [m [s] ] Place text that follows at the second
indentation level; text is preceded by
a mark; m is the mark (default is a
large bullet); s is the increment or
decrement to the point size of the mark
with respect to the prevailing point
size (default is 0); if s is 100, it
causes the point size of the mark to be
the same as that of the default mark.
.C [m [s] ] Same as .B, but for the third
indentation level; default mark is a
dash.
.D [m [s] ] Same as .B, but for the fourth
indentation level; default mark is a
small bullet.
.T string String is printed as an over-size,
centered title.
.I [in] [a [x] ] Change the current text indent (does
not affect titles); in is the indent

(in inches unless dimensioned, default
is 0); if in is signed, it is an
increment or decrement; the presence of
a invokes the .A macro (see below) and
passes x (if any) to it.
.S [p] [l] Set the point size and line length; p
is the point size (default is
``previous''); if p is 100, the point
size reverts to the initial default for
the current foil-start macro; if p is
signed, it is an increment or decrement
(default is 18 for .VS, .VH, and .SH,
and 14 for the other foil-start
macros); l is the line length (in
inches unless dimensioned; default is
4.2'' for .Vh, 3.8'' for .Sh, 5'' for
.SH, and 6'' for the other foil-start
macros).
.DF n f [n f ...] Define font positions; may not appear
within a foil's input text (i.e., it
may only appear after all the input
text for a foil, but before the next
foil-start macro); n is the position of
font f; up to four ``n f'' pairs may be
specified; the first font named becomes
the prevailing font; the initial
setting is (H is a synonym for G):
.DF 1 H 2 I 3 B 4 S
.DV [a] [b] [c] [d] Alter the vertical spacing between
indentation levels; a is the spacing
for .A, b is for .B, c is for .C, and d
is for .D; all non-null arguments must
be dimensioned; null arguments leave
the corresponding spacing unaffected;
initial setting is:
.DV .5v .5v .5v 0v
.U str1 [str2] Underline str1 and concatenate str2 (if
any) to it.
The last four macros in the above list do not cause a break;
the .I macro causes a break only if it is invoked with more
than one argument; all the other macros cause a break.
The macro package also recognizes the following upper-case
synonyms for the corresponding lower-case troff requests:
.AD .BR .CE .FI .HY .NA .NF .NH .NX .SO .SP .TA

.TI
The Tm string produces the trademark symbol.
The input tilde (~) character is translated into a blank on
output.

BUGS
The .VW and .SW foils are meant to be 9'' wide by 7'' high,
but because the typesetter paper is generally only 8'' wide,
they are printed 7'' wide by 5.4'' high and have to be
enlarged by a factor of 9/7 before use as view graphs; this
makes them less than totally useful.
