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 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.
