Viewing a document

Figure: The view menu
\begin{figure}\begin{center}
\makebox[18.5mm][l]{\rule[-26.4mm]{0mm}{26.4mm}\special{DVIview_diagram @.Diagrams.ViewMenu scale 50 50}}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

Once loaded, the first page of the document is displayed in a window. You can move to different pages using the Next, Previous and, for larger jumps, Goto page items from the window's menu (see figure [*]).

The scale at which the document is displayed can be altered by choosing Scale and using the standard `scale view' dialogue box.

The other items in the menu are New view, which, unsurprising, spawns a new view on the document, and Save page, which saves as a Draw file the page being viewed.

Figure: The document submenu
\begin{figure}\begin{center}
\makebox[16.7mm][l]{\rule[-24.7mm]{0mm}{24.7mm}\special{DVIview_diagram @.Diagrams.DocMenu scale 50 50}}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

At the top of the menu is the Document item, which leads to a submenu whose items concern the document as a whole rather than the page currently being viewed (see figure [*]). File info leads to the standard file information dialogue box. Save allows a range of pages to be saved as separate Draw files in a directory. It will come as a great shock to discover that Print allows pages to be printed1. Paper size allows you to choose the size of the paper for your document (more on this in sections [*] and [*]) and choosing Landscape toggles the orientation of the paper. Finally, Page offsets allows you to alter the position of the document pages on the paper; negative values are allowed. Try spawning several new views of a document and then changing the page offsets — whee!
