PGVIEW(1ICD)

NAME
pgview - pre-view the pattern generator file

SYNOPSIS
pgview [-g graphics] [-d device] [-c cellname] [pgfile]
Xpgview [-A] [-h host:dnr[.snr]] [=geo] [-c cellname] [pgfile]

OPTIONS

-c  Preview data files from the in the next argument specified cell name. In this case no pgfile is read. For pgview (GKS-version) one of the following options can be specified:

-g  The name of a graphics terminal. The following graphics terminals are supported:
    apollo_15_color, hp2397, hp98700, hpgp, rast10.

-d  The pathname of the graphics device. Normally only used in combination with the 'hpgp' graphics device. If no options are used the environment variable TERM is used to obtain the name of the graphics terminal. For Xpgview (X Window System version) the following option can be specified:

-A  Use different graphics context for text (needed for Apollo workstations to see text).

-h  The display to be used by Xpgview. The display must be identified by a hostname together with a display number, and optionally a screen number. If this option is not used the environment variable DISPLAY is used to identify the display.

=geo
    To specify the window geometry <width>x<height>{+-}<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>. For example =+0 to get a default window at xoffset 0, or =2000x2000+0 to get a very big window.

DESCRIPTION
Pgview pre-views the pattern generator file made by the ftape program. Default name for this file is "PGFILE". If you specify a cell name pgview interacts with the ICD / NELSIS database for retrieval of the "_pgt" data files (and other). In that case the project directory must be chosen as the current working directory. Pgview is menu driven (like: dali), with the commands to be used appearing on the left side of the screen. The commands are selected by moving the cursor (using the mouse) into the command area on the screen and pressing the mouse button. The menu commands are:

quit
    Exit the program, when 'yes' is specified.

readfile
    Read and display the specified jobnr (pgfile mode) or mask data file (cell mode) and display it in the specified color.

w_center
    Use next point as center of current window.

w_rect
    Zoom out to recticle (pgfile mode) or bbox (cell mode) window.

w_prev
    Zoom in/out to previous window.

zoom
    Zoom in to specified area.

dezoom
    Zoom out to specified area.

coord_pt
    Ask co-ordinates of certain point.

tgl_grid
    Put on/off the grid.

set_grid
    Set grid spacing to specified value. If 'fixed' field is 'on' value is not more automatically changed.

window
    Ask window co-ordinates.

sw_solid
    Switch from 'hollow' (default) to 'solid' display mode for specified color.

visible
    Switch from 'visible' (default) to 'non-visible' display mode for specified color.

set_unit
    Set co-ordinate unit to the specified value.

set_coor
    Set cursor to specified co-ordinate point. When you choice 'zoom' after 'set_coor' is 'on', a zoom to this area is done. Messages from the program to the user will be displayed in a window at the top of the screen.
