KDVI 1 September 30th, 2001 KDE User's Manual kdvi a KDE DVI previewer kdvi Qt-option KDE-option part file kdvi is a complete DVI previewer for the K Desktop Environment, KDE. This programm displays DVI files which are produced by the TeX typesetting system. kdvi is realized as a plugin to the kviewshell application. The kviewshell is a unified display tool for multipage textual documents. Using KDE's fabulous kparts technology, DVI files can be transparently displayed in other applications, such as the konqueror web brower. Most users will never realize KDVI is actually there: you just click on a DVI file and it is immediately displayed in place. This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`--').
