They have been removed in order to make more room for the image. The displayed portion of the image may be moved by dragging the image or the paner (panel between the Save Marked and Redisplay buttons) with the mouse. Alternatively, the cursor arrow keys can be used.
Similarly, the mouse may be used to drag the file list up and down in the Open and Save dialogues.
Use the "spartan" style by starting gv with the command
gv -style gv_spartan.datThis removes the Open, Save, and Print buttons (they are still available from the File menu) and replaces them with the document attribute controls, which are normally along the top.

Antialiasing can improve the display of bitmapped fonts (eg. from
TeX) when displayed on a colour or greyscale screen. The same
technique is used by xdvi
. Note that antialiasing requires
at least ghostscript version 4.x.
Antialiasing can be turned on with options menu (State|Options ...), and can be made default by selecting Save. It is not on by default because it's slower.
There are two methods used to save the contents of the window when it's not currently displayed: backing store or backing pixmap. Some X-servers seem to support only backing store (eg. VAXstations) and some only backing pixmap (eg. some X-terminals, including EWS).
On VMS, the default may be changed by creating a file
called GV.DAT
with the following line
(or, if the file already exists, add the line)
GV*Ghostview.UseBackingPixmap: FalseThis file should be placed in your home directory (ie. where you find yourself immediately after logging in) unless you have redefined the logical name
DECW$USER_DEFAULTS
, in which case it
should go in the directory specified by this logical name.
UseBackingPixmap
is true
by default
(so as to work on X-terminals), so should be defined
as false
if, eg., a VAXstation display is used.
On Unix, the definition should go in ~/.gv
.
This occurs on EWS X-terminals, which do not implement bitmap/pixmap
displaying properly. On VMS, to fix this you need to create a file
called GHOSTSCRIPT.DAT
with the following line
Ghostscript*useXPutImage: falseAgain, this file should be placed in your home directory (i.e. where you find yourself immediately after logging in) unless you have redefined the logical name
DECW$USER_DEFAULTS
, in which case it
should go in the directory specified by this logical name.
On Unix, put the above line into a file called ~/Ghostscript
.

Ghostscript reserves the environment
variable GHOSTVIEW
(logical
name or DCL symbol on VMS) for internal use, so it should not be used for
other purposes (eg. as a VMS command symbol for this program;
use GV
instead).
