D.9.2.13 xdvi

Procedure from library latex.lib (see latex_lib).

Usage:
xdvi(fname[,style]); fname,style = string

Return:
nothing; displays dvi-file fname.dvi with previewer xdvi

Note:
suffix .dvi may be omitted in fname
style captures the program that will be called instead of the default (xdvi)

Example:
 
LIB "latex.lib";
intmat m[3][4] = 9,2,4,5,2,5,-2,4,-6,10,-1,2,7;
opentex("exp001");
texobj("exp001","An intmat:  ",m);
closetex("exp001");
tex("exp001");
