[FILE]...DESCRIPTIONgnome-gv (aka GGv) is the Gnome PostScript viewer program. The name comes from GhostView, a non-gnome GNU PostScript viewer application on which GGv is based.GGv is a frontend for Ghostscript, an interpreter of PostScript that is able to properly render PostScript documents in a display or a printer. GGv serves as a layer that isolates the user from the cumbersome options and interface of Ghostscript, and, at the same time, gives extra features such as panning and persistent user settings. The main features of GGv are its antialiasing (use the preferences dialog to turn it on and reload the document - your eyes will pop out of their sockets so be careful) and nice user interface, allowing e.g. dragging of PostScript files into GGv, moving the PostScript display by dragging the mouse in the pager window or the main window. GGv can display more than one document at the same time. Also, the transparent support for compressed PostScript and pdf are handy. USAGEOne or more FILEs may be specified on the command-line. gnome-gv will create a separate window for each document. The file given should be in either Postscript or PDF format.OPTIONSThis program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`--'). A summary of the options supported by gnome-gv is included below.GNOME options

BUGSIf you are unable to load a PostScript file, check the beginning of the file (uncompressed if necessary). The file might not be a PostScript one or it may have been created on a system that uses a different character for line ending than Unix (e.g. a Mac). The simplest solution for the latter is to make a small perl script that converts the file into the correct format.SEE ALSOgv(1)AUTHOR
