dxvdoc(1X)dxvdoc(1X)Namedxvdoc - invokes CDA Viewer for DECwindows Motif displays
Synopsisdxvdoc [ -f format ] [ -O options-file ] [-r ] [-w paper-width] [-h
paper-height] inputfile
Description
The dxvdoc command invokes the CDA Viewer, which enables you to view
compound documents on a workstation running DECwindows Motif. The dxv‐
doc window contains a menu bar with menu items that allow you to view
additional documents, change processing options, close open documents,
or exit.
If you invoke dxvdoc with no input file argument, you can specify the
first document using the file selection box. If you want dxvdoc to
read from standard input, you must enter "-" as the file argument. For
example: % cdoc -s text file.lis | dxvdoc - The dxvdoc command does not
support reading viewing of PostScript files from standard input. You
must supply a filename to view PostScript files.
The dxvdoc command supports command line parameters pertaining to
XtInitialize(). For example, -d node::0.
Flags
Specifies the format of inputfile and invokes an appropriate input con‐
verter as part of CDA. The DDIF, DTIF, and TEXT converters are provided
in the base system kit. Other products can supply additional convert‐
ers.
To view PostScript files on DECwindows Motif, specify -f ps, if
your system is connected to displays with servers that contain
the Display PostScript extension. The CDA Viewer does not
require an input converter to display PostScript files.
Contact your system manager for a complete list of input formats
supported on your system. The default format is DDIF. Names the
file passed to the input converter to control specific process‐
ing options in that converter. Refer to your documentation set
for a description of converter options.
The options file has a default file type of .cda_options. To
restrict the option to either input or output, follow each line
of the options file by _input or _output. The second word is a
valid option preceded by one or more spaces, tabs, or a slash
(/) and can contain uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers,
dollar signs, and underlines. The case of letters is not signif‐
icant. If an option requires a value, then spaces, tabs, or an
equal sign can separate the option from the value.
You can precede each line by spaces and tabs. To terminate
lines, use any character other than those that you use to spec‐
ify the format names and options. The supplier of the front and
back ends specifies the syntax and interpretation of the text
that follows the format name.
To specify several options for the same input or output format,
specify one option on a line. If you specify an invalid option
for an input or output format or an invalid value for an option,
the option may be ignored or an error message may be returned.
Each input or output format that supports processing options
specifies any restrictions or special formats required when
specifying options.
By default, any messages that occur during processing of the
options file are written to the system standard error location.
For those input formats that support a LOG option, messages can
be directed to a log file. Specifies that the CDA Viewer is to
override the format of the document. If the -r qualifier is not
specified, the CDA Viewer retains the formatting information
stored in the document. Specifies the paper width in units of
characters. Each character unit translates to 720 centipoints
(7200 centipoints per inch or 10 characters per inch horizon‐
tally). The -w qualifier always specifies the fallback formatted
document page width to be used when the -r (override format)
qualifier is specified or when the document has no inherent for‐
mat. If the -w qualifier is not specified and if the document
has no inherent format, the default width is 85 characters,
which is equivalent to the default page width of 8.5 inches.
Specifies the paper height in units of characters. Each charac‐
ter unit translates to 1200 centipoints (7200 centipoints per
inch or 6 characters per inch vertically). The -h qualifier
always specifies the fallback formatted document page height to
be used when the -r (override format) qualifier is specified or
when the document has no inherent format. If the -h qualifier is
not specified and if the document has no inherent format, the
default height is 66 lines, which is equivalent to the default
page height of 11 inches.
