Description:
GView is a frontend for GhostScript 4.03 (ported by Michael Dennis-Biemans).
GhostScript is available from http://www.stack.nl/~michaeld/gs.html
GView is useless without GhostScript, so if you do not already have a
working GhostScript setup (including fonts), there is no point in trying to
use GView.
GView turns GhostScript into a full Wimp-based PostScript previewer. It extracts
single pages from multi-page PostScript files, processes them using GhostScript
and ChangeFSI and displays the resulting bitmaps.
GView offers the following features:
- handles multiple PostScript files simultaneously
- displays each document in a window
- displays the number of pages the document contains in the title bar
- renders documents in monochrome, 16 colours, 256 colours, 32 thousand
and 16 millon colours (more than 256 colours available only with RISC OS 3.5
or higher)
- runs in any screen mode
It allows you to:
- move to the previous or next page
- jump to any page directly
- save single pages as Sprites
- save all the pages of the whole document as Sprites
- specify the page size and orientation
