DESCRIPTION
This man page is intended as a quick reference for the
command line switches; the real documentation is available
as mgv.html in __DATADIR__/help. PostScript versions of the
manual may also be available in __DATADIR__/help.
OPTIONS
-aliaseps, -noaliaseps
Anti-aliasing graphic images will often make the images
look worse and increase the rendering time
significantly; hence, these switches are offered to
give you finer control over when anti-aliasing is used.
These switches set the antialiasEPS application
resource.
-antialias, -noantialias
Enable or disable anti-aliasing within Ghostscript; by
default, anti-aliasing is enabled. If anti-aliasing is
enable, then the x11alpha device is used and
Ghostscript will be run with the -dNOPLATFONTS switch;
if anti-aliasing is disabled, then the x11 device will
be used. This switch sets the antialias resource for
Ghostview widgets.
