NAME
dxvdoc - Invokes CDA Viewer for DECwindows Motif displays
SYNOPSIS
dxvdoc [ -f format ] [ -O options-file ] [-r ]
[-w paper-width] [-h paper-height] [inputfile]
FLAGS
Specifies the format of inputfile and invokes an appropriate
input converter as part of CDA. The DDIF, DTIF, and TEXT
converters are provided in the base system kit.
Other products can supply additional converters.
-
To view PostScript files on DECwindows Motif,
specify -f ps, if your system is connected
to displays with servers that contain the Display PostScript
extension. The CDA Viewer does not require an input converter
to display PostScript files.
-
Contact your system manager for a complete list of input
formats supported on your system. The default format is DDIF.
Names the file passed to the input converter to control
specific processing options in that converter. Refer to your
documentation set for a description of converter options.
-
The options file has a default file type of .cda_options.
To restrict the option to either input or output, follow each
line of the options file by _input or _output.
The second word is a valid option preceded by one or more spaces,
tabs, or a slash (/) and can contain uppercase and lowercase
letters, numbers, dollar signs, and underlines. The case of
letters is not significant. If an option requires a value,
then spaces, tabs, or an equal sign can separate the
option from the value.
-
You can precede each line by spaces and tabs.
To terminate lines, use any character other than those
that you use to specify the format names and options.
The supplier of the front and back ends specifies
the syntax and interpretation of the text that follows the format name.
-
To specify several options for the same input or output format,
specify one option on a line. If you specify an invalid option
for an input or output format or an invalid value for an option,
the option may be ignored or an error message may be returned.
Each input or output format that supports processing options
specifies any restrictions or special formats required
when specifying options.
-
By default, any messages that occur during processing of the
options file are written to the system standard error location.
For those input formats that support a LOG option, messages
can be directed to a log file.
Specifies that the CDA Viewer is to override the format of
the document. If the -r
qualifier is not specified, the CDA Viewer retains the formatting
information stored in the document.
Specifies the paper width in units of characters. Each character unit
translates to 720 centipoints (7200 centipoints per inch or 10
characters per inch horizontally). The -w
qualifier always specifies the fallback
formatted document page width to be used when the -r
(override format) qualifier is specified or when the document has no
inherent format. If the -w
qualifier is not specified and if the document
has no inherent format, the default width is 85 characters, which is
equivalent to the default page width of 8.5 inches.
Specifies the paper height in units of characters. Each character unit
translates to 1200 centipoints (7200 centipoints per inch or
6 characters per inch vertically). The -h
qualifier always specifies the fallback
formatted document page height to be used when the -r
(override format) qualifier is specified or when the document has no
inherent format. If the -h qualifier is not specified and
if the document has no inherent format, the default height
is 66 lines, which is equivalent to the default page height of
11 inches.
PARAMETERS
Specifies the file to be viewed. If you do not include
this parameter on the command line, select the Open... item
from the viewer's File menu to invoke the file selection box.
DESCRIPTION
The dxvdoc
command invokes the CDA Viewer, which enables you to view
compound documents on a workstation running DECwindows Motif.
The dxvdoc window contains a menu bar with menu items
that allow you to view additional
documents, change processing options, close open documents, or exit.
If you invoke dxvdoc with no input file argument,
you can specify the first document using the file selection box.
If you want dxvdoc
to read from standard input, you must enter
"-" as the file argument. For example:
% cdoc -s text file.lis | dxvdoc -
The dxvdoc command does not support viewing of
PostScript files from standard input. You must supply a file name
to view PostScript files.
The dxvdoc command
supports command line parameters pertaining to XtInitialize().
For example, -d node::0.
The command also recognizes settings for the following X resources:
Specifies either TRUE or FALSE to indicate whether
the viewer recognizes only those PostScript files that begin with
the standard characters %!. The default is TRUE.
Specifies an integer value for the number of degrees to rotate
the display of a PostScript page. The default is 0 degrees (no
rotation).
Specifies an integer value for the desired height,
in millimeters, of the paper to
be used for each page displayed in the CDA Viewer's window. By default,
the CDA Viewer uses the paper height stored in the document or,
if this value is not encoded in the document, a paper height of
11 inches.
Specifies an integer value for the desired width, in millimeters,
of the paper to
be used for each page displayed in the viewer's window. By default,
the CDA Viewer uses the paper width stored in the document or,
if this value is not encoded in the document, a paper width of
8.5 inches.
A mask formed by the union of processing options to use when
document content is displayed in the CDA Viewer. The processing
options and their mask values are as follows:
DvrWordWrap
DvrSoftDirectives
DvrLayout
DvrSpecificLayout
-
The default mask is the following:
-
DvrWordWrap|DvrSoftDirectives|DvrLayout|DvrSpecificLayout
Specifies an integer value for how much to scale a PostScript page
display. Calculate this value in multiples of ten. For example,
if you want the page to appear twice as large, specify 20
(2.0 * 10). The default value is 10 (1.0 * 10).
Specifies TRUE or FALSE to indicate whether the viewer should use
spacing formulas designed for bitmaps (screen images) instead
of those defined for print when displaying PostScript files.
The default is FALSE.
Specifies TRUE or FALSE to indicate whether the viewer should interpret
comments in a PostScript file as a means of moving between pages.
The default is TRUE.
Specifies TRUE or FALSE to indicate whether the viewer should interpret
tray size directives in a PostScript file. The default is TRUE.
Specifies TRUE or FALSE to indicate whether the viewer displays a
PostScript file as it is calculated, rather than waiting to display
the whole page at one time. The default is FALSE.
