- 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
