| Message-ID | <a7127cd5-c333-41df-a25c-6afa1d49bc8b@googlegroups.com> |
I do my preliminary gp runs in the Aqua terminal so I can see quickly if I'm getting something close to what I want. Once I have it, is there a recommended way to set it up for outputting to PDF? It's pretty tedious having to print the PDF outputs to see if I've got it right. As far as I can tell there is no "live" viewer for PDF output, is that correct? GP 4.6.1 OSX 10.6.8

The same program you use to print that PDF can almost certainly be used to display it, too. For most people, that program would be Acrobat Reader. Whether that should be considered "live" viewing is in the eye of the beholder.

Since the pdf output is generated via the cairo library you would be better off composing it using the wxt terminal, which also uses cairo, rather than the aqua terminal. In that sense the wxt terminal is itself a "live viewer". Otherwise you would have to use a separate program to view your pdf output. If I remember correctly, on a Mac you can use Safari to display PDFs. Ethan

Is it possible to pipe the output of a multiplot (7,2) to a program, e.g., to Preview?

I don't know what exactly you have in mind, but the simplest way IMHO would be to write the multiplots to a single PDF the way it should finally look like. Once the first PDF trial is generated, you could just load it into Preview which should automatically reload the PDF once changed. Otherwise, thy the free PDF viewer Skim, which can do so for sure.
