DESCRIPTION

Xdvi is a program which runs under the X window system. It is used to preview DVI files, such as produced by TeX. 

The -p option defines the pixels per inch for font selection.  Default value is 300. 

The -s option defines the initial shrink factor.  Default value is 4. 

The -l option causes used fonts to be listed on diagnostic output. 

MOUSE

Clicking the right button will display the next page.  Clicking the left button will display the previous page.  Clicking the right button with the Shift key held down will display the next window full to the right.  Clicking the left button with the Shift key held down will display the previous window full to the left.  Clicking the middle button will display the next window full down.  Clicking the middle button with the Shift key held down will display the next window full up. 

KEYBOARD

You can exit the program by typing ‘q’, control-C, or control-D.  You can move to the next page with ‘n’, ‘f’, or SPACE.  You can move the the previous page with ‘p’, ‘b’, or control-H.  You can move up a window-full with ‘u’, down with ‘d’, left with ‘l’, and right with ‘r’.  You can change the shrink factor by typing in the number (one or more digits), followed by ‘s’.  If you type ‘s’ without a number, the smallest factor that makes the entire page fit in the window will be used.  You can force redisplay with control-L.  You can move a relative number of pages by typing an optional ‘-’, a number (one or more digits) and then carriage return or line feed.  You can move to a specific page by typing a number (one or more digits) and then ‘g’.  You can move to the last page by typing ‘g’ without a number.
