# 2.2. Rendering Options

The following picture shows the second options dialog of kdvi.

PostScript

  If this options is checked, kdvi will display PostScript graphics which are embedded into the dvi file. If an external PostScript file could not be found, kdvi will draw a red warning box in its place. Unfortunately, rendering PostScript graphics is very slow in the current version of kdvi. We will improve on the speed in later versions. If this option is off, kdvi will either draw a grey box as a placeholder for the graphics, or it will leave the space blank.

  Note: there is no standard way to embed PostScript graphics into a dvi file. It may therefore happen that kdvi cannot properly display a graphic which works fine with other programs. Older versions of xdvi and dvips support the execution of external commands. This is a hight security risk and therefore deliberately not implemented in kdvi. Technical information about supported ways to include PostScript can be found in an external document.

Hyperlinks

  Check this if you want kdvi to display hyperlinks. The appropriate parts of the text will be underlined in blue.
