2. The GGv Application Window

The GGv application window has a menubar, a toolbar, a sidebar, and a document view. Everything except the document view can be turned off.

Document view

The document view shows the current postscript document's current page (it is empty if there isn't a document loaded). The page will be scaled to the current zoom factor. Depending on the scaled size, the page may fit in the view or you may only see a portion of it. By clicking and dragging on the page, you can move it around so you can see the parts that do not fit on the screen. Right-clicking on the page will bring up a menu allowing you to do things such as turn on and off the various application bars, advance to the next page, or change the zoom factor.

Sidebar

The sidebar has three distinct parts - a small view of the page, a set of toggle buttons, and a list of pages. The small view at the top allows you to see what portion of the page is currently being viewed. The rectangular box inside is called the slider. By moving the slider you can move the current viewing area. Beneath the mini-view is a pair of numbers which are the coordinates of your cursor on the document. The units are determined by a setting from the Preferences dialog. The toggle buttons and the list of pages allow you to go to a specific page in the document, or mark a page or set of pages. Marking a page allows you to print or save those pages separately. Above the page list is a set of toggle buttons. The first one, showing all boxes checked, allows you to toggle the mark on all of the document's pages. The next one, which has the first and third box checked, allows you to toggle the mark on all of the odd pages. The third toggle, showing the second and fourth boxes checked, allows you to toggle the mark on all of the even pages. The last button, with no boxes checked, will unmark all the pages. In the page list, you can click on a page to display it, or click in the box to it's left to mark/unmark that page.
