Evaluating the following form (i.e. hitting C-x C-e with point behind it) (Info-goto-node "(auctex) Viewing") brings one right to the AucTeX GNU Info manual. In short: ,----[ C-h k C-c C-v ] | C-c C-v runs the command TeX-view, which is an interactive compiled | Lisp function in | `/usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/auctex/tex-buf.elc'. | | It is bound to C-c C-v. | (TeX-view) | | Start a viewer without confirmation. | The viewer is started either on region or master file, | depending on the last command issued. | | [back] `---- This way xpdf starts and I can move around with shortcuts like e.g. R, Q, arrows etc. ... just what I wanted :-) ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I suppose, its output is even nicer than acroread's one. C-R reloads are supported.

Just to give you an example: \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor [a] [r=0,g=0,b=1] \definecolor [b] [r=0,g=0,b=0.05] \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{shade} path p ; p := unitsquare scaled 8cm ; linear_shade(p,6,\MPcolor{a},\MPcolor{b}) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{shade} \stoptext Compile this and then have a look at the pdf file in acroread and in evince.

I know continuous gradients are not shown perfectly, but it's something that many people can live with. I suppose, evince is very good choice for development.

Just to give you an example: When talking about evince, it is important to check which rendering libraries are used. I have documents that render correctly on my debian box with at least one of the available evince packages (linked to poppler 0.6.4), but not on Red Hat Fedora 8 (linked to poppler-0.6.2), where some fonts are shown with "?". While writing documents, I tend to use either apparition, which is fast (as long as it is running on the local machine -- it can be very slow over a network), or Emacs DocView just makes a png image of each page -- often enough to make sure some TeX fragment is working properly. -- George N.
