<P>The dvi viewer may be started using a file name to display a file, e.g: |
||||
<PRE> |
||||
kdvi somepath/paper.dvi |
||||
</PRE> |
||||
or without a file name as |
||||
<PRE> |
||||
kdvi |
||||
</PRE> |
||||
kdvi will then allow a file to be opened from a dialog or a menu of recently used files. This menu can also be popped up by clicking the File button with the right mouse button. |
||||
<P>The usual parameters handled by Qt and KDE applications also work: |
||||
<PRE> |
||||
kdvi -style windows -display :0 -geometry 400x400+0+0 -caption "DVI" |
||||
</PRE> |
||||
For integration with TeX the opened DVI file is automatically reloaded when changed. |

<P>Most keyboard commands are displayed in the menus as accelerator keys. |
||||
The defaults follow KDE standard when applicable. |
||||
You can define your prefered key bindings using the KDE standard key |
||||
configuration dialog available from the menu Options/Keys. |
||||
<P>Note also that you can reach most menu commands with a couple of key presses, |
||||
e.g. to show the Help/About is done by Alt-h a. You can also use |
||||
cursor keys to move around in menus. |
||||
Here is a list of invisible bindings (these are not configurable): |
||||
<UL> |
||||
<LI>SPACE moves down then to top of next page similar to Advance button.</LI> |
||||
<LI>Cursor keys scroll in obvious way. With Control-modifier they use a very |
||||
small step size for accurate control.</LI> |
||||
<LI>Home scrolls to top of page.</LI> |
||||
<LI>End scrolls to bottom of page.</LI> |

<P>The View menu offers entries to step through available magnifications: |

Zoom in and Zoom out. The available magnifications corresponds to the |

base resolution of the used pk-font and its reductions by integer |
||||
factors. |
||||
<P>The button bar presents these same commands plus two fixed |
||||
magnifications for quick selection. You can use these to switch |
||||
between a readable text size and a magnified view (there is no |
||||
separate magnifier window) or between a readable size and a full page |
||||
view. You can configure these fixed sizes with preferences dialog. |
||||
<P>One non-obvious feature is the selection of scaling center. You can |
||||
select with left mouse button the point on the page that does not move |
||||
(if possible) when changing the magnification. Use this by clicking |
||||
with left mouse button at the detail you want to see magnified and |
||||
then push the magnified view button. |

<P>This version has a print setup dialog (available from the print |

dialog) that lets you configure the printing method, n-up program, |

printer names and spooler command. Printing method selects the |
||||
external program to use for printing. Available choices are dvips and |
||||
dvilj4. If you use dvips, you can also have an n-up program called to |
||||
make 2 or 4 pages per sheet. Select psnup (preferred) or mpage (may |
||||
work) if you have that installed in your system. |
||||
<P>You may add printer names that will be available in the print dialog. |
||||
<P>And last you can change the spooler command (defaults to lpr) that is |
||||
supposed to read standard input. Option -P is appended when printing |
||||
to nondefault printer. |
||||
<P>Having setup printing you can use the print dialog where you can |
||||
select the pages to be printed, which printer or file to use for |
||||
output and more. |

<H3><A NAME="s7">7. Q & A</A></H3> |
||||
|
||||
<P>Q: Why is kdvi not displaying anything but a busy cursor?<BR> |
||||
A: It is |
||||
possible, that kdvi is searching for the pk-fonts from wrong places, |
||||
and this can be very time consuming if these include network mounted |
||||
filesystems. You can check for this with strace and see below for a |
||||
cure. |
||||
<P>Q: What can I do when kdvi does not find my PK-fonts?<BR> |
||||
A: You must have correct settings for resolution and Metafont mode.<BR> |
||||
If this does not help, you may set the field |
||||
'PK Font Path' in Preferences/Fonts to point to the list of directories |
||||
to be searched for pk-fonts:<BR> |
||||
/var/lib/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/:/some/other/place<BR> |
||||
You can make kdvi search recursively by adding an extra / at the end of |
||||
directory name:<BR> |
||||
/var/lib/texmf/fonts//<BR> |
||||
(This works like xdvi's XDVIFONTS environment variable. |
||||
There is also good (gnu info) documentation available for the kpathsea library |
||||
that kdvi uses for font searching.)<BR> |
||||
This makes kdvi usable when you have some other tex system than tetex and don't |
||||
have the texmf.cnf file. |
||||
<P>Q: How do I get the font generation to work?<BR> |
||||
A: If you like to enable automatic font generation using MakeTeXPK, |
||||
you must also supply correct Metafont mode in preferences dialog. |
||||
When automatic pk-font generation is disabled (menu option) |
||||
the missing fonts will be logged to file missfont.log in the current directory. |
||||
It is a good idea to check that the font generation commands in |
||||
missfont.log are correct before enabling font generation. |

<para>The dvi viewer may be started using a file name to display a file, e.g: <literal remap="verb">kdvi somepath/paper.dvi</literal>or without a file name as <literal remap="verb">kdvi</literal> kdvi will then allow a file to be opened from a dialog or a menu of recently used files. This menu can also be popped up by clicking the File button with the right mouse button.</para> |

<para>The usual parameters handled by Qt and KDE applications also work: <literal remap="verb">kdvi -style windows -display :0 -geometry 400x400+0+0 -caption "DVI"</literal> For integration with TeX the opened DVI file is automatically reloaded when changed.</para> |

<title>Using keyboard</title> |
||||
|
||||
<para>Most keyboard commands are displayed in the menus as accelerator keys. |
||||
The defaults follow KDE standard when applicable. |
||||
You can define your prefered key bindings using the KDE standard key |
||||
configuration dialog available from the menu Options/Keys.</para> |
||||
|
||||
<para>Note also that you can reach most menu commands with a couple of key presses, |
||||
e.g. to show the Help/About is done by Alt-h a. You can also use |
||||
cursor keys to move around in menus. |
||||
Here is a list of invisible bindings (these are not configurable): |
||||
<itemizedlist> |
||||
<listitem> |
||||
<para>SPACE moves down then to top of next page similar to Advance button.</para> |
||||
</listitem> |

<para>Cursor keys scroll in obvious way. With Control-modifier they use a very |
||||
small step size for accurate control.</para> |

<para>Home scrolls to top of page.</para> |

</chapter> |
||||
|

<chapter id="Movingaround"> |
||||
<title>Moving around</title> |
||||
|
||||
<para>You can scroll the page with various ways: Using keyboard <xref linkend="keyboard">, using the scrollbars, using the scroller |
||||
widget located above the page list or by dragging the display with |
||||
left mouse button.</para> |
||||
|
||||
<para>The Page menu provides commands for changing the displayed page. A |
||||
primitive dialog is available to enter a page number. The scroller |
||||
widget allows you to move to the next or the previous page by clicking |
||||
the right or middle mouse button. The page list can be clicked with |
||||
the left mouse button to select a page.</para> |
||||
|
||||
<para>The button bar provides buttons to change pages: First, Previous, |
||||
Advance, Next and Last. In the middle of these is the Advance button |
||||
which can be used to easily read through many partly displayed pages: |
||||
it scrolls down until at the bottom of page and then to the top of the |
||||
next page.</para> |
||||
</chapter> |
||||
|
||||
<chapter id="Changingmagnification"> |
||||
<title>Changing magnification</title> |
||||
|
||||
<para>The View menu offers entries to step through available magnifications: |
||||
Zoom in and Zoom out. The available magnifications corresponds to the |
||||
base resolution of the used pk-font and its reductions by integer |
||||
factors.</para> |
||||
|
||||
<para>The button bar presents these same commands plus two fixed |
||||
magnifications for quick selection. You can use these to switch |
||||
between a readable text size and a magnified view (there is no |
||||
separate magnifier window) or between a readable size and a full page |
||||
view. You can configure these fixed sizes with preferences dialog.</para> |
||||
|
||||
<para>One non-obvious feature is the selection of scaling center. You can |
||||
select with left mouse button the point on the page that does not move |
||||
(if possible) when changing the magnification. Use this by clicking |
||||
with left mouse button at the detail you want to see magnified and |
||||
then push the magnified view button.</para> |
||||
</chapter> |
||||
|
||||
<chapter id="Markingpages"> |
||||
<title>Marking pages</title> |
||||
|
||||
<para>You can mark pages for printing. The marks are visible in the page list.</para> |
||||
|
||||
<para>The current page can be marked by selecting the entry 'Mark page' from |
||||
the RMB popup menu of the viewing area. The page list gives more |
||||
options for marking: you can mark all, even, odd or current page and |
||||
unmark current or all pages and toggle marks using the RMB popup menu |
||||
of page list. Clicking or dragging the middle mouse button also |
||||
toggles the marks.</para> |
||||
</chapter> |
||||
|
||||
<chapter id="Printing"> |
||||
<title>Printing</title> |
||||
|
||||
<para>This version has a print setup dialog (available from the print |
||||
dialog) that lets you configure the printing method, n-up program, |
||||
printer names and spooler command. Printing method selects the |
||||
external program to use for printing. Available choices are dvips and |
||||
dvilj4. If you use dvips, you can also have an n-up program called to |
||||
make 2 or 4 pages per sheet. Select psnup (preferred) or mpage (may |
||||
work) if you have that installed in your system.</para> |
||||
|
||||
<para>You may add printer names that will be available in the print dialog.</para> |
||||
|
||||
<para>And last you can change the spooler command (defaults to lpr) that is |
||||
supposed to read standard input. Option -P is appended when printing |
||||
to nondefault printer.</para> |
||||
|
||||
<para>Having setup printing you can use the print dialog where you can |
||||
select the pages to be printed, which printer or file to use for |
||||
output and more.</para> |
||||

|
||||
<chapter id="QampA"> |
||||
<title>Q & A</title> |
||||
|
||||
<para>Q: Why is kdvi not displaying anything but a busy cursor? |
||||
A: It is |
||||
possible, that kdvi is searching for the pk-fonts from wrong places, |
||||
and this can be very time consuming if these include network mounted |
||||
filesystems. You can check for this with strace and see below for a |
||||
cure.</para> |
||||
|
||||
<para>Q: What can I do when kdvi does not find my PK-fonts? |
||||
A: You must have correct settings for resolution and Metafont mode. |
||||
If this does not help, you may set the field |
||||
'PK Font Path' in Preferences/Fonts to point to the list of directories |
||||
to be searched for pk-fonts: |
||||
/var/lib/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/:/some/other/place |
||||
You can make kdvi search recursively by adding an extra / at the end of |
||||
directory name: |
||||
/var/lib/texmf/fonts// |
||||
(This works like xdvi's XDVIFONTS environment variable. |
||||
There is also good (gnu info) documentation available for the kpathsea library |
||||
that kdvi uses for font searching.) |
||||
This makes kdvi usable when you have some other tex system than tetex and don't |
||||
have the texmf.cnf file.</para> |
||||
|
||||
<para>Q: How do I get the font generation to work? |
||||
A: If you like to enable automatic font generation using MakeTeXPK, |
||||
you must also supply correct Metafont mode in preferences dialog. |
||||
When automatic pk-font generation is disabled (menu option) |
||||
the missing fonts will be logged to file missfont.log in the current directory. |
||||
It is a good idea to check that the font generation commands in |
||||
missfont.log are correct before enabling font generation.</para> |

||||
magnifications for quick selection. You can use these to switch |
||||
between a readable text size and a magnified view (there is no |
||||
separate magnifier window) or between a readable size and a full page |
||||
view. You can configure these fixed sizes with preferences dialog.</P> |
||||
|
||||
<P>One non-obvious feature is the selection of scaling center. You can |
||||
select with left mouse button the point on the page that does not move |
||||
(if possible) when changing the magnification. Use this by clicking |
||||
with left mouse button at the detail you want to see magnified and |
||||
then push the magnified view button.</P> |

<HEADING>Marking pages</HEADING> |

<P>You can mark pages for printing. The marks are visible in the page list.</P> |
||||
<P>The current page can be marked by selecting the entry 'Mark page' from |
||||
the RMB popup menu of the viewing area. The page list gives more |
||||
options for marking: you can mark all, even, odd or current page and |
||||
unmark current or all pages and toggle marks using the RMB popup menu |
||||
of page list. Clicking or dragging the middle mouse button also |
||||
toggles the marks.</P> |

<HEADING>Printing</HEADING> |
||||
<P>This version has a print setup dialog (available from the print |
||||
dialog) that lets you configure the printing method, n-up program, |
||||
printer names and spooler command. Printing method selects the |
||||
external program to use for printing. Available choices are dvips and |
||||
dvilj4. If you use dvips, you can also have an n-up program called to |
||||
make 2 or 4 pages per sheet. Select psnup (preferred) or mpage (may |
||||
work) if you have that installed in your system.</P> |
||||
<P>You may add printer names that will be available in the print dialog.</P> |
||||
<P>And last you can change the spooler command (defaults to lpr) that is |
||||
supposed to read standard input. Option -P is appended when printing |
||||
to nondefault printer.</P> |
||||
<P>Having setup printing you can use the print dialog where you can |
||||
select the pages to be printed, which printer or file to use for |
||||
output and more.</P> |

<HEADING>Q & A</HEADING> |
||||
<P>Q: Why is kdvi not displaying anything but a busy cursor?<NEWLINE> |
||||
A: It is |
||||
possible, that kdvi is searching for the pk-fonts from wrong places, |
||||
and this can be very time consuming if these include network mounted |
||||
filesystems. You can check for this with strace and see below for a |
||||
cure.</P> |
||||
|
||||
<P>Q: What can I do when kdvi does not find my PK-fonts?<NEWLINE> |
||||
A: You must have correct settings for resolution and Metafont mode.<NEWLINE> |
||||
If this does not help, you may set the field |
||||
'PK Font Path' in Preferences/Fonts to point to the list of directories |
||||
to be searched for pk-fonts: |
||||
<NEWLINE> |
||||
/var/lib/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/:/some/other/place |
||||
<NEWLINE> |
||||
You can make kdvi search recursively by adding an extra / at the end of |
||||
directory name: |
||||
<NEWLINE> |
||||
/var/lib/texmf/fonts// |
||||
<NEWLINE> |
||||
(This works like xdvi's XDVIFONTS environment variable. |
||||
There is also good (gnu info) documentation available for the kpathsea library |
||||
that kdvi uses for font searching.)<NEWLINE> |
||||
This makes kdvi usable when you have some other tex system than tetex and don't |
||||
have the texmf.cnf file.</P> |
||||
|
||||
<P>Q: How do I get the font generation to work?<NEWLINE> |
||||
A: If you like to enable automatic font generation using MakeTeXPK, |
||||
you must also supply correct Metafont mode in preferences dialog. |
||||
When automatic pk-font generation is disabled (menu option) |
||||
the missing fonts will be logged to file missfont.log in the current directory. |
||||
It is a good idea to check that the font generation commands in |
||||
missfont.log are correct before enabling font generation.</P> |
