NAME
docviewer - OpenWindows viewer for AnswerBook on-line docu-
mentation
SYNOPSIS
docviewer -d document-name -p tooltalk-procid [ -c card-
catalog-file ]
AVAILABILITY
SUNWowrqd
DESCRIPTION
docviewer and navigator(1) constitute an OpenWindows appli-
cation for viewing and navigating AnswerBook on-line docu-
ment collections.
docviewer displays PostScript files found using navigator.
docviewer lets you page through a document, print pages,
magnify or reduce pages, and follow hypertext links and
cross-references to other documents.
You should not start docviewer directly. It is started
automatically by navigator as needed. If you are running
several navigators simultaneously, they will each start
their own docviewers.
OPTIONS
docviewer accepts most of the generic tool arguments
described in xview(7), as well as the following options:
-d document-name
Specify the name of the document to be viewed.
-c card-catalog
Specify the name of the card catalog file used to
locate AnswerBooks. See ab_cardcatalog(4) for more
information.
-p tooltalk-procid
Specify the tooltalk process id of the navigator invok-
ing this docviewer.
USAGE
Once a document is displayed in the docviewer window, you
can view it as follows:
Page Turning
Click SELECT on the left and right arrow buttons at the
top of the docviewer window to page back and forth
through a document. The PgUp and PgDn keys on the key-
board perform the same functions. In addition, the
Home and End keys let you page through a document one
chapter at a time.
Page History
docviewer keeps track of each page visited. Click
SELECT on the Go Back button until the window returns
to the page you want to revisit, or use the Undo key-
board function.
Hypertext Links
docviewer has a simple hypertext mechanism. Hypertext
links are displayed as rectangular outlines around
words or graphics on a page. Double-clicking SELECT on
a link causes docviewer to display the document and
page to which the link points. Documents may have
links to other documents within the same collection.
Certain types of hypertext links can also initiate sys-
tem processes. Double-clicking on these links will
start up a program or shell script.
Page Magnification
Magnify or reduce the size of the document by pulling
the resize corners on the docviewer window, or select
the "View->Custom Magnification" menu item. Select the
"View->Standard Magnification" menu item to reset the
document to the standard size. For very high magnifi-
cations, select the "View->Partial Page" menu item so
that the docviewer window still fits on the screen.
Printing
Click SELECT on the Print button to show the pop-up
Print Window. In the Print Window, select the page or
document to print, number of copies, and printing dev-
ice (or file).
Page Information
Select the "Viewer->Page Info" menu item to show a
pop-up window describing the chapter, book, and Answer-
Book you are currently viewing.
