To preview DVI files, Active-DVI features:
- Color anti-aliasing
- Inclusion of images (via the Camlimages package) with alpha
channel and blending
- Encapsulated Postscript File inclusion (using graphics macros package)
- Gpic specials to display pictures
- Correct treatment of many (but not all) inlined-Postscript specials
- Page background settings
- Japanese pTeX dvi extension support (screen shot)
To present your DVI files, Active-DVI features:
- Basic effects for presentation (pause, delay, text color change)
- Annotations displayed on demand (similar to pop-up balloons)
- Hyper links from slide to slide or to other files (including DVI files)
- Replay of previously recorded parts of the display
- Text movements
- Page transitions
- Embedded applications (launched and killed on demand)
Active-DVI special effects are set and launched from within your
LaTeX source file via the macros of the advi.sty
LaTeX package provided by the distribution.
In addition, Caml hackers can program new and fancy Active-DVI effects in the
source code of the presenter.
Installation of Active-DVI
You need Objective Caml 3.04 or higher to compile the sources.
You also need the `kpsewhich' utility of the `kpathsea' library
provided by the TeX distributions.
For encapsulated postscript file inclusions, you need the
camlimages library.
Source distribution
- Version 1.0.0 tar ball (You optionally need camltk and camlimages!)
- For the maximum performance, Active-DVI requires the
camltk
and
camlimages
libraries.
If you have not yet installed these libraries,
we recommend to download the following ADK instead.
- ADK,
the Active-DVI Development Kit version 1.0.0 tar ball (Active-DVI +
camltk + camlimages).
- It is a big tar ball of Active-DVI, camltk and camlimages,
with a fully-automated-with-luck installation Makefile.
-
Current CVS version is available at the
Caml Anonymous CVS repository.
