GGv is the Gnome Postscript and PDF 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 that make me personally like 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.
|
|
|
|
This is the version of GGv for GNOME 2.
