pspresent - fullscreen PostScript presentation tool

pspresent [options] file.ps

pspresent is a tool that displays PostScript slides in fullscreen, for giving presentations. Navigation is simple, and the display is double-buffered for seamless transitions between slides. The actual rendering is done in the background using Ghostscript.

-h
Show summary of options.
-o
Do not override window manager. pspresent will attempt to disable decorations and resize itself to the size of the screen, but will otherwise co-operate with your window manager (which may mean that it is not truly fullscreen).
-s
Limit pspresent to only use the given head on a XINERAMA display.
-O Portrait|Landscape|Upside-Down|Seascape
Override orientation.

The following keys can be used from within pspresent to navigate the slides. If Shift is depressed, then only the last page of each series of overlays is shown (an overlay set is identified as a series of pages with the same logical page number).

The mouse buttons can also be used to navigate through a presentation.

left button

If Shift is used together together with the navigation keys or buttons, then only the last page of each series of overlays is shown (an overlay set is identified as a series of pages with the same logical page number).
