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.
