DESCRIPTION
xdvi is a program which runs under the X window system. It
is used to preview dvi files, such as are produced by
tex(1).
This program has the capability of showing the file
shrunken by various (integer) factors, and also has a
``magnifying glass'' which allows one to see a small part
of the unshrunk image momentarily.
Before displaying any page or part thereof, it checks to
see if the dvi file has changed since the last time it was
displayed. If this is the case, then xdvi will reinitial-
ize itself for the new dvi file. For this reason, expos-
ing parts of the xdvi window while TeX is running should
be avoided. This feature allows you to preview many ver-
sions of the same file while running xdvi only once.
In addition to using keystrokes to move within the file,
xdvi provides buttons on the right side of the window,
which are synonymous with various sequences of keystrokes.
xdvi can show PostScript<tm> specials by any of three
methods. It will try first to use Display PostScript<tm>,
then NeWS, then it will try to use Ghostscript to render
the images. All of these options depend on additional
software to work properly; moreover, some of them may not
be compiled into this copy of xdvi.
For performance reasons, xdvi does not render PostScript
specials in the magnifying glass.
If dvi_file is not specified, a file-selection widget is
popped up for you to choose the dvi file.
OPTIONS
In addition to specifying the dvi file (with or without
the .dvi extension), xdvi supports the following command
line options. If the option begins with a `+' instead of
a `-', the option is restored to its default value. By
default, these options can be set via the resource names
given in parentheses in the description of each option.
+page Specifies the first page to show. If + is given
without a number, the last page is assumed; the
first page is the default.
-allowshell
(.allowShell) This option enables the shell escape
in PostScript specials. (For security reasons,
shell escapes are disabled by default.) This op-
tion should be rarely used; in particular it should
not be used just to uncompress files: that function
is done automatically if the file name ends in .Z,
.gz, or .bz2 Shell escapes are always turned off if
the -safer option is used.
-altfont font
(.altFont) Declares a default font to use when the
font in the dvi file cannot be found. This is use-
ful, for example, with PostScript <tm> fonts.
-background color
(.background) Determines the color of the back-
ground. Same as -bg.
-base base URL
(.urlBase) Sets the base URL value that external
links given in the dvi file are assumed relative to
- normally this should be the URL of the document
itself (?).
-bd color
(.borderColor) Determines the color of the window
border.
-bg color
(.background) Determines the color of the back-
ground.
-bordercolor color
Same as -bd.
-borderwidth width
(.borderWidth) Specifies the width of the border of
the window. Same as -bw.
-browser WWWbrowser
(.wwwBrowser) Defines the World Wide Web browser to
be used to handle external URL's, for example mosa-
ic. If neither the command-line option nor the X
resource are set, uses the environment variable
WWWBROWSER.
-bw width
(.borderWidth) Specifies the width of the border of
the window.
-copy (.copy) Always use the copy operation when writing
characters to the display. This option may be nec-
essary for correct operation on a color display,
but overstrike characters will be incorrect. If
greyscale anti-aliasing is in use, the -copy opera-
tion will disable the use of colorplanes and make
overstrikes come out incorrectly. See also -thor-
ough.
-cr color
(.cursorColor) Determines the color of the cursor.
The default is the color of the page border.
-debug bitmask
(.debugLevel) If nonzero, prints additional infor-
mation on standard output. The number is taken as
a set of independent bits. The meaning of each bit
follows. 1=bitmaps; 2=dvi translation; 4=pk read-
ing; 8=batch operation; 16=events; 32=file opening;
64=PostScript communication; 128=Kpathsea stat(2)
calls; 256=Kpathsea hash table lookups; 512=Kpath-
sea path definitions; 1024=Kpathsea path expansion;
2048=Kpathsea searches. To trace everything having
to do with file searching and opening, use 4000.
Some of these debugging options are actually pro-
vided by Kpathsea. See the Debugging section in
the Kpathsea manual.
-density density
(.densityPercent) Determines the density used when
shrinking bitmaps for fonts. A higher value pro-
duces a lighter font. The default value is 40. If
greyscaling is in use this argument does not apply;
use -gamma instead. See also the `S'. keystroke.
Same as -S
-display host:display
Specifies the host and screen to be used for dis-
playing the dvi file. By default this is obtained
from the environment variable DISPLAY.
-expert
(.expert) Prevent the buttons from appearing. See
also the `x' keystroke.
-fg color
(.foreground) Determines the color of the text
(foreground).
-foreground color
Same as -fg.
-font font
(*font) Sets the font for use in the buttons.
-gamma gamma
(.gamma) Controls the interpolation of colors in
the greyscale anti-aliasing color palette. Default
value is 1.0. For 0 < gamma < 1, the fonts will be
lighter (more like the background), and for gamma >
1, the fonts will be darker (more like the fore-
ground). Negative values behave the same way, but
use a slightly different algorithm. For color and
greyscale displays; for monochrome, see -density.
See also the `S' keystroke
-grid1 color
(.grid1Color) Determines the color of level 1 grid
(default as foreground)
-grid2 color
(.grid2Color) Determines the color of level 2 grid
(default as foreground)
-grid3 color
(.grid3Color) Determines the color of level 3 grid
(default as foreground)
-geometry geometry
(*geometry) Specifies the initial geometry of the
window.
-gspalette palette
(.palette) Specifies the palette to be used when
using Ghostscript for rendering PostScript spe-
cials. Possible values are Color, Greyscale, and
Monochrome. The default is Color.
-gsalpha
(.gsAlpha) Causes Ghostscript to be called with the
x11alpha driver instead of the x11 driver. The
x11alpha driver enables anti-aliasing in PostScript
figures, for a nicer appearance. It is available
on newer versions of Ghostscript. This option can
also be toggled with the `V' keystroke.
-hl color
(.highlight) Determines the color of the page bor-
der. The default is the foreground color.
-hush (.Hush) Causes xdvi to suppress all suppressible
warnings.
-hushchars
(.hushLostChars) Causes xdvi to suppress warnings
about references to characters which are not de-
fined in the font.
-hushchecksums
(.hushChecksums) Causes xdvi to suppress warnings
about checksum mismatches between the dvi file and
the font file.
-hushspecials
(.hushSpecials) Causes xdvi to suppress warnings
about \special strings that it cannot process.
-icongeometry geometry
(.iconGeometry) Specifies the initial position for
the icon.
-iconic
(.iconic) Causes the xdvi window to start in the
iconic state. The default is to start with the
window open.
-install
(.install) If xdvi is running under a PseudoColor
visual, then (by default) it will check for True-
Color visuals with more bits per pixel, and switch
to such a visual if one exists. If no such visual
exists, it will use the current visual and col-
ormap. If -install is selected, however, it will
still use a TrueColor visual with a greater depth,
if one is available; otherwise, it will install its
own colormap on the current visual. If the current
visual is not PseudoColor, then xdvi will not
switch the visual or colormap, regardless of its
options. The default value of the install resource
is the special value, maybe. There is no +install
option. See also -noinstall, and the GREYSCALING
AND COLORMAPS section.
-interpreter filename
(.interpreter) Use filename as the Ghostscript in-
terpreter. By default it uses gs.
-keep (.keepPosition) Sets a flag to indicate that xdvi
should not move to the home position when moving to
a new page. See also the `k' keystroke.
-l (.listFonts) Causes the names of the fonts used to
be listed.
-margins dimen
(.Margin) Specifies the size of both the top margin
and side margin. This determines the ``home'' po-
sition of the page within the window as follows.
If the entire page fits in the window, then the
margin settings are ignored. If, even after remov-
ing the margins from the left, right, top, and bot-
tom, the page still cannot fit in the window, then
the page is put in the window such that the top and
left margins are hidden, and presumably the upper
left-hand corner of the text on the page will be in
the upper left-hand corner of the window. Other-
wise, the text is centered in the window. The di-
mension should be a decimal number optionally fol-
lowed by any of the two-letter abbreviations for
units accepted by TeX (pt, pc, in, bp, cm, mm, dd,
cc, or sp). By default, the unit will be cm (cen-
timeters). See also -sidemargin, -topmargin, and
the keystroke `M.'
-mfmode mode-def
(.mfMode) Specifies a mode-def string, which can be
used in searching for fonts (see ENVIRONMENT, be-
low). Generally, when changing the mode-def, it is
also necessary to change the font size to the ap-
propriate value for that mode. This is done by
adding a colon and the value in dots per inch; for
example, -mfmode ljfour:600. This method overrides
any value given by the pixelsPerInch resource or
the -p command-line argument. The metafont mode is
also passed to metafont during automatic creation
of fonts. By default, it is unspecified.
-mgs size
Same as -mgs1.
-mgs[n] size
(.magnifierSize[n]) Specifies the size of the win-
dow to be used for the ``magnifying glass'' for
Button n. The size may be given as an integer (in-
dicating that the magnifying glass is to be
square), or it may be given in the form widthx-
height. See the MOUSE ACTIONS section. Defaults
are 200x150, 400x250, 700x500, 1000x800, and
1200x1200.
-noghostscript
(.ghostscript) Inhibits the use of Ghostscript for
displaying PostScript<tm> specials. (For this op-
tion, the logic of the corresponding resource is
reversed: -noghostscript corresponds to
ghostscript:off; +noghostscript to ghostscript:on.)
-nogrey
(.grey) Turns off the use of greyscale anti-alias-
ing when printing shrunken bitmaps. (For this op-
tion, the logic of the corresponding resource is
reversed: -nogrey corresponds to grey:off; +nogrey
to grey:on.) See also the `G' keystroke.
-nogssafer
(.gsSafer) Normally, if Ghostscript is used to ren-
der PostScript specials, the Ghostscript inter-
preter is run with the option -dSAFER. The
-nogssafer option runs Ghostscript without -dSAFER.
The -dSAFER option in Ghostscript disables
PostScript operators such as deletefile, to prevent
possibly malicious PostScript programs from having
any effect. If the -safer option is specified,
then this option has no effect; in that case
Ghostscript is always run with -dSAFER. (For the
-nogssafer option, the logic of the corresponding
resource is reversed: -nogssafer corresponds to
gsSafer:off; +nogssafer to gsSafer:on.)
-noinstall
(.install) Inhibit the default behavior of switch-
ing to a TrueColor visual if one is available with
more bits per pixel than the current visual. This
option corresponds to a resource of install:off.
There is no +noinstall option. See also -install,
and the GREYSCALING AND COLORMAPS section.
-nomakepk
(.makePk) Turns off automatic generation of font
files that cannot be found by other means. (For
this option, the logic of the corresponding re-
source is reversed: -nomakepk corresponds to
makePk:off; +nomakepk to makePK:on.)
-nopostscript
(.postscript) Turns off rendering of PostScript<tm>
specials. Bounding boxes, if known, will be dis-
played instead. This option can also be toggled
with the `v' keystroke. (For this option, the log-
ic of the corresponding resource is reversed: -no-
postscript corresponds to postscript:off;
+postscript to postscript:on.)
-noscan
(.prescan) Normally, when PostScript<tm> is turned
on, xdvi will do a preliminary scan of the dvi
file, in order to send any necessary header files
before sending the PostScript code that requires
them. This option turns off such prescanning. (It
will be automatically be turned back on if xdvi de-
tects any specials that require headers.) (For the
-noscan option, the logic of the corresponding re-
source is reversed: -noscan corresponds to pres-
can:off; +noscan to prescan:on.)
-offsets dimen
(.Offset) Specifies the size of both the horizontal
and vertical offsets of the output on the page. By
decree of the Stanford TeX Project, the default TeX
page origin is always 1 inch over and down from the
top-left page corner, even when non-American paper
sizes are used. Therefore, the default offsets are
1.0 inch. The argument dimen should be a decimal
number optionally followed by any of the two-letter
abbreviations for units accepted by TeX (pt, pc,
in, bp, cm, mm, dd, cc, or sp). By default, the
unit will be cm (centimeters). See also -xoffset
and -yoffset.
-p pixels
(.pixelsPerInch) Defines the size of the fonts to
use, in pixels per inch. The default value is 600.
This option is provided only for backwards compati-
bility; the preferred way of setting the font size
is by setting the Metafont mode at the same time;
see the -mfmode option.
-paper papertype
(.paper) Specifies the size of the printed page.
This may be of the form widthxheight optionally
followed by a unit, where width and height are dec-
imal numbers giving the width and height of the pa-
per, respectively, and the unit is any of the two-
letter abbreviations for units accepted by TeX (pt,
pc, in, bp, cm, mm, dd, cc, or sp). By default,
the unit will be cm (centimeters). There are also
synonyms which may be used: us (8.5x11in), usr
(11x8.5in), legal (8.5x14in), foolscap (13.5x17in),
as well as the ISO sizes a1-a7, b1-b7, c1-c7, a1r-
a7r (a1-a7 rotated), etc. The default size is 21 x
29.7 cm (A4 size).
-rv (.reverseVideo) Causes the page to be displayed
with white characters on a black background, in-
stead of vice versa.
-s shrink
(.shrinkFactor) Defines the initial shrink factor.
The default value is 8. If shrink is given as 0,
then the initial shrink factor is computed so that
the page fits within the window (as if the `s'
keystroke were given without a number).
-S density
(.densityPercent) Same as -density, q.v.
-safer (.safer) This option turns on all available securi-
ty options; it is designed for use when xdvi is
called by a browser that obtains a dvi or TeX file
from another site. In the present case, this op-
tion selects +nogssafer and +allowshell.
-shrinkbuttonn shrink
(.shrinkButtonn) Specifies that the nth button
changing shrink factors shall change to shrink fac-
tor factor. This is not very usefull in the normal
run of things. xdvik scales the scaling factors
according to resolution (currently 300dpi and
600dpi). Here n may be a number from 1 to 4. Typ-
ical factors are powers of 2.
-sidemargin dimen
(.sideMargin) Specifies the side margin (see -mar-
gins).
-thorough
(.thorough) xdvi will usually try to ensure that
overstrike characters (e.g., \notin) are printed
correctly. On monochrome displays, this is always
possible with one logical operation, either and or
or. On color displays, however, this may take two
operations, one to set the appropriate bits and one
to clear other bits. If this is the case, then by
default xdvi will instead use the copy operation,
which does not handle overstriking correctly. The
-thorough option chooses the slower but more cor-
rect choice. See also -copy.
-topmargin dimen
(.topMargin) Specifies the top and bottom margins
(see -margins).
-underlink
(.underLink) Underline links. Default is true.
-version
Print information on the version of xdvi.
-warnspecials
(.warnSpecials) Causes xdvi to issue warnings about
\special strings that it cannot process.
-xoffset dimen
(.xOffset) Specifies the size of the horizontal
offset of the output on the page. See -offsets.
-yoffset dimen
(.yOffset) Specifies the size of the vertical off-
set of the output on the page. See -offsets.
KEYSTROKES
xdvi recognizes the following keystrokes when typed in its
window. Each may optionally be preceded by a (positive or
negative) number, whose interpretation will depend on the
particular keystroke. Also, the ``Help'', ``Home'',
``Prior'', ``Next'', and arrow cursor keys are synonyms
for `?', `^', `b', `f', `l', `r', `u', and `d' keys, re-
spectively.
q Quits the program. Control-C and control-D will do
this, too.
Q Quits the program with exit status 2.
n Moves to the next page (or to the nth next page if
a number is given). Synonyms are `f', Space, Re-
turn, and Line Feed.
p Moves to the previous page (or back n pages). Syn-
onyms are `b', control-H, and Delete.
g Moves to the page with the given number. Initial-
ly, the first page is assumed to be page number 1,
but this can be changed with the `P' keystroke, be-
low. If no page number is given, then it goes to
the last page.
P ``This is page number n.'' This can be used to
make the `g' keystroke refer to actual page numbers
instead of absolute page numbers.
Control-L
Redisplays the current page.
^ Move to the ``home'' position of the page. This is
normally the upper left-hand corner of the page,
depending on the margins as described in the -mar-
gins option, above.
u Moves up two thirds of a window-full.
d Moves down two thirds of a window-full.
l Moves left two thirds of a window-full.
r Moves right two thirds of a window-full.
c Moves the page so that the point currently beneath
the cursor is moved to the middle of the window.
It also (gasp!) warps the cursor to the same place.
M Sets the margins so that the point currently under
the cursor is the upper left-hand corner of the
text in the page. Note that this command itself
does not move the image at all. For details on how
the margins are used, see the -margins option.
s Changes the shrink factor to the given number. If
no number is given, the smallest factor that makes
the entire page fit in the window will be used.
(Margins are ignored in this computation.)
S Sets the density factor to be used when shrinking
bitmaps. This should be a number between 0 and
100; higher numbers produce lighter characters. If
greyscaling mode is in effect, this changes the
value of gamma instead. The new value of gamma is
the given number divided by 100; negative values
are allowed.
t Toggles to the next unit in a sorted list of TeX
dimension units for the popup magnifier ruler.
R Forces the dvi file to be reread. This allows you
to preview many versions of the same file while
running xdvi only once.
k Normally when xdvi switches pages, it moves to the
home position as well. The `k' keystroke toggles a
`keep-position' flag which, when set, will keep the
same position when moving between pages. Also `0k'
and `1k' clear and set this flag, respectively.
See also the -keep option.
x Toggles expert mode (in which the buttons do not
appear). Also `0x' and `1x' clear and reset this
mode, respectively. See also the -expert option.
G This key toggles the use of greyscale anti-aliasing
for displaying shrunken bitmaps. In addition, the
key sequences `0G' and `1G' clear and set this
flag, respectively. See also the -nogrey option.
If given a numeric argument that is not 0 or 1, greyscale
anti-aliasing is turned on, and the gamma resource is set
to the value divided by 100. E.g., `150G' turns on
greyscale and sets gamma to 1.5.
D This key toggles the use of grid over the document.
If no number is given, the grid mode toggles. By
prepending number, 3 grid levels can be set. The
grid in each level is drawn in the colour speci-
fied. See also the -grid1, -grid2, and -grid3 op-
tions.
v This key toggles the rendering of PostScript<tm>
specials. If rendering is turned off, then bound-
ing boxes are displayed when available. In addi-
tion the key sequences `0v' and `1v' clear and set
this flag, respectively. See also the -no-
postscript option.
V This key toggles tha anti-aliasing of
PostScript<tm> specials when Ghostscript is used as
renderer. In addition the key sequences `0V' and
`1V' clear and set this flag, See also the +.B
-gsalpha option.
F Read a new dvi file. A file-selection widget is
popped up for you to choose the dvi file from.
MOUSE ACTIONS
If the shrink factor is set to any number other than one,
then clicking mouse button 3 will pop up a ``magnifying
glass'' which shows the unshrunk image in the vicinity of
the mouse click. This subwindow disappears when the mouse
button is released. Different mouse buttons produce dif-
ferent sized windows, as indicated by the -mgs option.
Moving the cursor while holding the button down will move
the magnifying glass.
If the cursor is on a hypertext link (underlined by de-
fault), then that link overrides the magnifying glass for
Buttons 1 and 2. If Button 1 is clicked over a link, then
xdvi jumps to the target in the current window. If Button
2 is clicked over a link, then xdvi opens a new window on
the target.
More precisely, for internal links, Button 1 jumps in the
same window to the link, while Button 2 starts up a new
xdvi on the link. For external links to dvi files, Button
1 changes the current xdvi to be reading that file, while
Button 2 starts a new xdvi on that file. For other file
types, mime.types and mailcap are parsed to determine the
viewer; finally, if no suitable mailcap entry was found,
if the WWWBROWSER environment variable is set, or -browser
was specified on the command line, it is started up on the
file.
The scrollbars (if present) behave in the standard way:
pushing Button 2 in a scrollbar moves the top or left edge
of the scrollbar to that point and optionally drags it;
pushing Button 1 moves the image up or right by an amount
equal to the distance from the button press to the upper
left-hand corner of the window; pushing Button 3 moves the
image down or left by the same amount.
SIGNALS
When xdvi receives a SIGUSR1 signal, it rereads the dvi
file.
GREYSCALING AND COLORMAPS
The greyscale anti-aliasing feature in xdvi will not work
at its best if the display does not have enough colors
available. This can happen if other applications are us-
ing most of the colormap (even if they are iconified). If
this occurs, then xdvi will print an error message and
turn on the -copy option. This will result in overstrike
characters appearing wrong; it may also result in poor
display quality if the number of available colors is very
small.
Typically this problem occurs on displays that allocate
eight bits of video memory per pixel. To see how many
bits per pixel your display uses, type xwininfo in an
xterm window, and then click the mouse on the root window
when asked. The ``Depth:'' entry will tell you how many
bits are allocated per pixel.
Displays using at least 15 bits per pixel are typically
TrueColor visuals, which do not have this problem, since
their colormap is permanently allocated and available to
all applications. (The visual class is also displayed by
xwininfo.) For more information on visual classes see the
documentation for the X Window System.
To alleviate this problem, therefore, one may (a) run with
more bits per pixel (this may require adding more video
memory or replacing the video card), (b) shut down other
applications that may be using much of the colormap and
then restart xdvi, or (c) run xdvi with the -install op-
tion.
One application which is often the cause of this problem
is Netscape. In this case there are two more alternatives
to remedying the situation. One can run ``netscape -in-
stall'' to cause Netscape to install a private colormap.
This can cause colors to change in bizarre ways when the
mouse is moved to a different window. Or, one can run
``netscape -ncols 220'' to limit Netscape to a smaller
number of colors. A smaller number will ensure that other
applications have more colors available, but will degrade
the color quality in the Netscape window.
ENVIRONMENT
Please see the kpathsea documentation.
HANDLING OF POSTSCRIPT FIGURES
xdvi can display PostScript files included in the dvi
file. Such files are first searched for in the directory
where the dvi file is, and then using normal Kpathsea
rules. There is an exception to this, however: if the
file name begins with a backtick (`), then the remaining
characters in the file name give a shell command (often
zcat) which is executed; its standard output is then sent
to be interpreted as PostScript. Note that there is some
potential for security problems here; see the -allowshell
command-line option. It is better to use compressed files
directly (see below).
If a file name is given (as opposed to a shell command),
if that file name ends in ``.Z'', ``.gz'', or ``.bz2'' and
if the first two bytes of the file indicate that it was
compressed with compress(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1) respec-
tively, then the file is first uncompressed with uncom-
press -c, gunzip -c, or bunzip2 -c, respectively. This is
preferred over using a backtick to call the command di-
rectly, since you do not have to specify -allowshell and
since it allows for path searching.
ENVIRONMENT
xdvik uses the same environment variables and algorithms
for finding font files as TeX and friends. See the docu-
mentation for the Kpathsea library for details (repeating
it here is too cumbersome). In addition, xdvik accepts
the following variables:
DISPLAY
Specifies which graphics display terminal to use.
KPATHSEA_DEBUG
Trace Kpathsea lookups; set it to -1 for complete
tracing.
MIMELIBDIR
Directory containing the mime.types file, if
~/.mime-types does not exist.
MAILCAPDIR
Directory containing the .mailcap file, if ~/.mail-
cap does not exist.
WWWBROWSER
The browser used to open URL's, if neither the
-browser option nor the .wwwBrowser resource are
set. For more information on hyper-TeX support,
see the `Hypertext' node in the dvipsk manual.
TMPDIR The directory to use for storing temporary files
created when uncompressing PostScript files.
LIMITATIONS
xdvi accepts many but not all types of PostScript specials
accepted by dvips. For example, it accepts most specials
generated by epsf and psfig, It does not, however, support
bop-hook, nor does it do the ``NEAT'' or rotated ``A'' ex-
ample in the dvips manual. These restrictions are due to
the design of xdvi; in all likelihood they will always re-
main.
LaTeX2e color and rotation specials are not currently sup-
ported.
