NAME
ximpv - Imprint (Impress) Previewer for the X Window System
SYNOPSIS
ximpv [=_g_e_o_m_e_t_r_y] [-p#] [-rv] [-fg _c_o_l_o_r] [-bg _c_o_l_o_r] [-bd
_c_o_l_o_r] [-ms _c_o_l_o_r] [_h_o_s_t:_d_i_s_p_l_a_y] file
DESCRIPTION
_X_i_m_p_v is a program which runs under the X window system. It
is used to preview images which is destined for an Imagen
laser printer.
The -_p# option, if used, will set the number of pages you
can back up to #. Default is five pages. Zero (or no number)
runs faster as the pages do not have to be transferred to
disk.
If the _f_i_l_e given to ximpv is correct a square will appear
on the screen indicating text is about to appear. If no
_f_i_l_e is given stdin must be from a pipe or an error message
is printed and the program aborted.
The pages of the file are displayed in the order. Only
about 2/3 of a page can be displayed at once (this is
because of aspect ratio differences).
