Whether antialiasing should be used. Valid values are "True" and "False".
Whether the displayed page should automatically be centered (for instance when opening a new file). Valid values are "True" and "False".
Whether gv is allowed to resize the main window according to the size of the current page. Valid values are "True" and "False".
Whether printing requires an extra confirmation. Valid values are "True" and "False".
Determines whether gv should attempt to respect document structuring comments. Valid values are "True" and "False".
Defines the interpretation of directions when scrolling with the mouse. Valid values are "True" and "False".
Whether the meaning of "landscape" and "seacape" should be interchanged. Valid values are "True" and "False".
Specifies a directory used to store temporary data.
Specifies the default destination directory for files to be saved.
When resizing gv will not attempt to exceed the size specified by these resources. These resources may be specified as a positive integer or as "screen", optionally combined with a positive or negative offset. The default values listed above provide examples for this syntax. "screen" will automatically be replaced by the size of the screen.
Defines a minimum size for the main window. Valid values for both resources are positive integers larger than 200.
Sets the initial magnification. Allowed values are integers.
Defines a range of allowed magsteps. Valid values for both resources are integers.
Sets the initial orientation. Valid values are "portrait", "landscape","seascape", "upside-down" and "automatic". "automatic" causes gv to attempt to derive the correct orientation from document structuring comments.
Defines the paper-size to be used when automatic orientation detetction fails. Valid values are "portrait", "landscape","seascape" and "upside-down".
Sets the paper-size. Allowd values are as given in the above list of paper-sizes. Specifying "automatic" causes gv to attempt to derive the correct paper-size from document structuring comments.
Defines the paper-size to be used when automatic paper-size detetction fails. Valid values are as given in the above list of paper-sizes.
For security reasons some preferences are handled differently than the "General resources" listed above. The default values of these resources of type "GVintern" are defined at compile time and can only be overriden in the user specific resource file.
The command used for printing a file.
The command used to start the ghostscript interpreter.
The command used to extract document structuring comments from a PDF file.
The command used to convert a PDF file to PostScript.
The ghostscript command line option which activates the "X11" device.
The ghostscript command line option which activates the "X11" device with antialiasing enabled.
Determines whether ghostscript should be started with the "-dSAFER" command line option.
Determines whether ghostscript should be started with the "-dQUIET" command line option.
May be used to provide additional command line options for the ghostscript interpreter. Starting gv with the "-arguments <arguments>" option will override this resource setting.
