NAME
    ximpv - Imprint (Impress) Previewer for the X Window System

SYNOPSIS
    ximpv [=_\bg_\be_\bo_\bm_\be_\bt_\br_\by] [-p#] [-rv] [-fg _\bc_\bo_\bl_\bo_\br] [-bg _\bc_\bo_\bl_\bo_\br] [-bd
    _\bc_\bo_\bl_\bo_\br] [-ms _\bc_\bo_\bl_\bo_\br] [_\bh_\bo_\bs_\bt:_\bd_\bi_\bs_\bp_\bl_\ba_\by] file

DESCRIPTION
    _\bX_\bi_\bm_\bp_\bv is a program which runs under the X window system. It
    is used to preview images which is destined for an Imagen
    laser printer.

    The -_\bp# option, if used, will set the number of pages you
    can back up to #. Default is five pages. Zero (or no number)
    runs faster as the pages do not have to be transferred to
    disk.

    If the _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be given to ximpv is correct a square will appear
    on the screen indicating text is about to appear.  If no
    _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be is given stdin must be from a pipe or an error message
    is printed and the program aborted.

    The pages of the file are displayed in the order.  Only
    about 2/3 of a page can be displayed at once (this is
    because of aspect ratio differences).

ARGUMENTS
    -bd _\bc_\bo_\bl_\bo_\br
            Specify the border color.

    -ms _\bc_\bo_\bl_\bo_\br
            Specify the mouse color.

    -fg _\bc_\bo_\bl_\bo_\br
            Specify the foreground color.

            Specify the background color.

    -bw _\bw_\bi_\bd_\bt_\bh
            Specify the width of the border.

    -rv     Cause _\bx_\bi_\bm_\bp_\bv to produce all output in black-on-white
            instead of white-on-black.

    =_\bg_\be_\bo_\bm_\be_\bt_\br_\by
            The previewer window is created with the specified
