NAME¶
pspresent - fullscreen PostScript presentation tool
SYNOPSIS¶
pspresent [
options]
file.ps
DESCRIPTION¶
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.
OPTIONS¶
- -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.
- -l
- Loop mode; go to start of document when at end, and vice
versa.
- -t[delay]
- Automatic slideshow mode. The delay is optional, the
default value is 20 seconds.
- -Tfile
- Automatic slideshow mode. The file contains one
integer value per line, corresponding to the delay between the current
slide and the next one. You must put a value for each page of your
document (count overlays, too). A value of 0 will disable the timer for
the current slide.
COMMANDS¶
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).

- Move to the next slide. If Shift is depressed, skips
overlays.

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

If Shift is used together together with the navigation keys or buttons, then
