Re: [AUCTeX] forcing view with xdvi

[Matthew Bainbridge]

Thanks for your quick reply.

I don't think I'm using PSTricks, but the problem seems to be the psfrag 
package.  With the following document, dvips && gv is used:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{psfrag}

\begin{document}
test
\end{document}

But if I comment out the \usepackage line, it uses xdvi.  Do you know if 
it is possible to use psfrag and have xdvi function normally?  Maybe there 
is something screwy in my .emacs file.  The relevent part seems to be 
this:

       (TeX-source-specials-mode 1)
       (setq TeX-source-specials-view-start-server t)
       ;; Special arguments to put XDVI in the correct place.
       (setq xdvi-extras
             (concat "-xoffset .35in -yoffset .4in "
                     "-s 4 -geometry 1800x1900+0+0"))
            ;; Add the above arguments to all instances of xdvi
       (unless (get 'TeX-output-view-style 'xdvi-extra)
         (mapcar (lambda (list)
                   (let ((func (nth 2 list)))
                     (if (string-match "xdvi" func)
                         (setq func
                               (replace-match
                                (concat "\\& " xdvi-extras) t nil func)))
                     (setcar (last list) func)))
                 TeX-output-view-style)
         (put 'TeX-output-view-style 'xdvi-extra t))

Cheers,
Matt
