NAME
       xditview - display ditroff output

SYNOPSIS
       xditview [ -toolkitoption ... ] [ -option ... ] [ filename
       ]

DESCRIPTION
       The xditview program displays ditroff output on an X  dis-
       play.   It  uses no special metrics and automatically con-
       verts the printer  coordinates  into  screen  coordinates;
       using  the  user-specified  screen resolution, rather than
       the actual resolution so that the appropriate fonts can be
       found.	If ``-'' is given as the filename, xditview reads
       from standard input.  If ``|'' is the first  character  of
       filename,  xditview forks sh to run the rest of the ``file
       name'' and uses the standard output of that command.

OPTIONS
       Xditview accepts all of the  standard  X Toolkit	 command
       line  options  along  with  the	additional options listed
       below:

       -page page-number
	       This option specifies the page number of the docu-
	       ment to be displayed at start up time.

       -resolution screen-resolution
	       This  specifies	the  desired screen resolution to
	       use; fonts will be opened by requesting this reso-
	       lution field in the XLFD names.

       -noPolyText
	       Some X servers incorrectly implement PolyText with
	       multiple strings per request.   This  option  sup-
	       pesses the use of this feature in xditview.

       -backingStore backing-store-type
	       Redisplay  can  take  up to  a second or so; this
	       option causes the server to save the  window  con-
	       tents so that when it is scrolled around the view-
	       port, the window is painted from contents saved in
	       backing	store.	backing-store-type can be one of
	       Always, WhenMapped or NotUseful.

       The following standard X Toolkit command	 line	arguments
       are commonly used with xditview:

       -bg color
	       This  option  specifies	the  color to use for the
	       background of the window.  The default is white.

       -bd color
	       This option specifies the color	to  use for  the

	       border of the window.  The default is black.

       -bw number
	       This  option  specifies the width in pixels of the
	       border surrounding the window.

       -fg color
	       This option specifies the color to  use	for  dis-
	       playing text.  The default is black.

       -fn font
	       This option specifies the font to be used for dis-
	       playing widget text.  The default is fixed.

       -rv     This option indicates that reverse video should be
	       simulated  by  swapping	the  foreground and back-
	       ground colors.

       -geometry geometry
	       This option specifies the preferred size and posi-
	       tion of the window.

       -display host:display
	       This option specifies the X server to contact.

       -xrm resourcestring
	       This  option  specifies	a  resource  string to be
	       used.

X DEFAULTS
       This program uses a Dvi widget.	It understands all of the
       core resource names and classes as well as:

       width (class Width)
	       Specifies the width of the window.

       height (class Height)
	       Specifies the height of the window.

       foreground (class Foreground)
	       Specifies the default foreground color.

       font (class Font)
	       Specifies  the font to be used for error messages.

       FontMap (class FontMap)
	       To associate the ditroff fonts with appropriate	X
	       fonts, this string resource contains a set of new-
	       line separated specifications, each of which  con-
	       sists  of  a ditroff name, some white space and an
	       XLFD pattern  with  *  characters  in  appropriate
	       places  to  allow  all  sizes  to  be listed.  The
	       default fontMap is:

USING XDITVIEW WITH DITROFF
       You  can use  any  ditroff  output  file	 with	xditview,
       although files	which  use  the fonts appropriate to the
       fontMap will look more accurate on the screen.  On servers
       which  support scaled fonts, all requested font sizes will
       be accurately reflected on the screen; for  servers  which
       do  not	support scaled xditview will use the closest font
       from the same family.
