XDITVIEW(1)         X Version 11 (Release 4)          XDITVIEW(1)



  NAME
       xditview - display ditroff DVI files


  SYNOPSIS
       xditview [-toolkitoption ...] [-option ...]

  DESCRIPTION
       The xditview program displays ditroff output on an X
       display.  It uses special font metrics which match the font
       set distributed with X11vR3, so it does not require access
       to the server machine for font loading.

  OPTIONS
       Xditview accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line
       options along with the additional options listed below:

       -help   This option indicates that a brief summary of the
               allowed options should be printed.

       -page   This option specifies the page number of the
               document to be displayed.

       -backingStore backing-store-type
               Redisplay of the DVI window can take upto a second
               or so, this option causes the server to save the
               window contents so that when it is scrolled around
               the viewport, the window is painted from contents
               saved in backing store. backing-store-type can be
               one of Always, WhenMapped or NotUseful.

       The following standard X Toolkit command line arguments are
       commonly used with xditview:

       -bg color
               This option specifies the color to use for the
               background of the window. The default is white.

       -bd color
               This option specifies the color to use for the

               border of the window.  The default is black.

               border surrounding the window.

               This option specifies the color to use for
               displaying text.  The default is black.

               This option specifies the font to be used for
               displaying widget text.  The default is fixed.

       -rv     This option indicates that reverse video should be
               simulated by swapping the foreground and background
               colors.

       -geometry geometry
               This option specifies the preferred size and
               position of the window.

       -display host:display
               This option specifies the X server to contact.

       -xrm resourcestring
               This option specifies a resource string to be used.

  USING XDITVIEW WITH DITROFF
       To build a DVI file suitable for use with xditview, use the
       device description in devX75:
            $ cd devX75
            $ makedev DESC
            $ mkdir /usr/lib/font/devX75
            $ cp *.out /usr/lib/font/devX75
            $ ditroff -TX75 ditroff-input | xditview

  BUGS
       Xditview can be easily confused by attempting to display a
       DVI file constructed for the wrong device.  Support for pic
       is not yet implemented.
