Manual page for EVIEW(1)
eview - Device independent troff screen previewer
SYNOPSIS
eview [
-lN
-Iindent
-dlpdest
-Dviewdest
-Zin -Zout
<troff args> <files>
]
DESCRIPTION
Eview
is a front end to the screen previewers
esun(1), eX(1),
and
ecrt(1).
It is similar to the
eroff(1)
command in that it calls
troff(1)
with any troff arguments passed to it and then calls a device
independent troff postprocessor, in this case a screen
previewer
instead of a printer driver.
For details about the use of
esun, eX,
and
ecrt,
see their separate manual pages.
The options to
eview
are:
- -lN
-
Display in landscape mode with
N
troff pages per printed page.
- -Iindent
-
Change indent to
indent.
Indent
is given as
<number><unit>
where unit may be one of
i
for inches,
p
for points, or
d
for decipoints. If
<unit>
is not specified it defaults to inches.
- -dlpdest
-
Set the printer to be used for hard copy to
lpdest.
- -Dviewdest
-
Set the display to be
viewdest.
Viewdest
can be
sun
for the sunview previewer,
X
for the X-windows previewer, or
crt
for the ASCII crt previewer.
- -Zin
-
Start in zoomed in mode (100% scaling).
- -Zout
-
Start in zoomed out mode (25% scaling).
- <troff args>
-
Any
troff
flags are passed untouched to
troff.
Eview
will try to use the appropriate previewer automatically.
If the environment variable
VIEW_DEST
is set, it will specify the display to be used,
rather than the default.
The display that
eview
uses may be overridden and the display explicitly set with the
-D
option above.
Eview
also sets the environment variables
BINDIR, FONTDIR,
and
LP
for use by
esun
and
eX
when printing a hardcopy document.
