+.TH XDITVIEW 1 __xorgversion__
+.SH NAME
+xditview \- display ditroff output
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B xditview
+[ \-\fItoolkitoption\fP .\|.\|. ] [ \-\fIoption\fP .\|.\|. ] [ \fIfilename\fP ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.I xditview
+program displays
+.I ditroff
+output on an X display. It uses no special
+metrics and automatically converts the printer coordinates into screen
+coordinates; using the user-specified screen resolution, rather than the
+actual resolution so that the appropriate fonts can be found. If
+``\fB\-\fP'' is given as the
+.I filename,
+.I xditview
+reads from standard input.
+If ``\fB|\fP'' is the first character of
+.I filename,
+.I xditview
+forks
+.I sh
+to run the rest of the ``file name'' and uses the
+standard output of that command.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.I Xditview
+accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options along with the
+additional options listed below:
+.TP 8
+.B \-page \fIpage-number\fP
+This option specifies the page number of the document to be displayed at
+start up time.
+.TP 8
+.B \-resolution \fIscreen-resolution\fP
+This specifies the desired screen resolution to use; fonts will be opened by
+requesting this resolution field in the XLFD names.
+.TP 8
+.B \-noPolyText
+Some X servers incorrectly implement PolyText with multiple strings
+per request. This option suppesses the use of this feature in
+.I xditview.
+.TP 8
+.B \-backingStore \fIbacking-store-type\fP
+Redisplay can take up to a second or so; this option causes
+the server to save the window contents so that when it is scrolled around the
+viewport, the window is painted from contents saved in backing store.
+\fIbacking-store-type\fP can be one of \fBAlways\fP, \fPWhenMapped\fP or
+\fPNotUseful\fP.
+.PP
+The following standard X Toolkit command line arguments are commonly used with
+.I xditview:
+.TP 8
+.B \-bg \fIcolor\fP
+This option specifies the color to use for the background of the window.
+The default is \fIwhite\fP.
+.TP 8
+.B \-bd \fIcolor\fP
+This option specifies the color to use for the border of the window.
+The default is \fIblack\fP.
+.TP 8
+.B \-bw \fInumber\fP
+This option specifies the width in pixels of the border surrounding the window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-fg \fIcolor\fP
+This option specifies the color to use for displaying text. The default is
+\fIblack\fP.
+.TP 8
+.B \-fn \fIfont\fP
+This option specifies the font to be used for displaying widget text. The
+default is \fIfixed\fP.
+.TP 8
+.B \-rv
+This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated by swapping
+the foreground and background colors.
+.TP 8
+.B \-geometry \fIgeometry\fP
+This option specifies the preferred size and position of the window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-display \fIhost\fP:\fIdisplay\fP
+This option specifies the X server to contact.
+.TP 8
+.B \-xrm \fIresourcestring\fP
+This option specifies a resource string to be used.
+.SH X DEFAULTS
+This program uses a
+.I Dvi
+widget. It understands all of the core resource names and
+classes as well as:
+.PP
+.TP 8
+.B width (\fPclass\fB Width)
+Specifies the width of the window.
+.TP 8
+.B height (\fPclass\fB Height)
+Specifies the height of the window.
+.TP 8
+.B foreground (\fPclass\fB Foreground)
+Specifies the default foreground color.
+.TP 8
+.B font (\fPclass\fB Font)
+Specifies the font to be used for error messages.
+.TP 8
+.B FontMap (\fBclass\fB FontMap)
+To associate the
+.I ditroff
+fonts with appropriate X fonts, this string
+resource contains a set of new-line separated specifications, each of which
+consists of a ditroff name, some white space and an XLFD pattern with *
+characters in appropriate places to allow all sizes to be listed. The
+default fontMap is:

+.SH "USING XDITVIEW WITH DITROFF"
+.PP
+You can use any ditroff output file with
+.I xditview,
+although files which use
+the fonts appropriate to the fontMap will look more accurate on the screen.
+On servers which support scaled fonts, all requested font sizes will be
+accurately reflected on the screen; for servers which do not support scaled
+.I xditview
+will use the closest font from the same family.
