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. |
