;; The GHOSTVIEW property (taken from gv 3.5.8).
;;
;; Type:
;;
;; STRING
;;
;; Parameters:
;;
;; BPIXMAP ORIENT LLX LLY URX URY XDPI YDPI [LEFT BOTTOM TOP RIGHT]
;;
;; Scanf format: "%d %d %d %d %d %d %f %f %d %d %d %d"
;;
;; Explanation of parameters:
;;
;; BPIXMAP: pixmap id of the backing pixmap for the window. If no
;; pixmap is to be used, this parameter should be zero. This
;; parameter must be zero when drawing on a pixmap.
;;
;; ORIENT: orientation of the page. The number represents clockwise
;; rotation of the paper in degrees. Permitted values are 0, 90, 180,
;; 270.
;;
;; LLX, LLY, URX, URY: Bounding box of the drawable. The bounding box
;; is specified in PostScript points in default user coordinates.
;;
;; XDPI, YDPI: Resolution of window. (This can be derived from the
;; other parameters, but not without roundoff error. These values are
;; included to avoid this error.)
;;
;; LEFT, BOTTOM, TOP, RIGHT: (optional) Margins around the window.
;; The margins extend the imageable area beyond the boundaries of the
;; window. This is primarily used for popup zoom windows. I have
;; encountered several instances of PostScript programs that position
;; themselves with respect to the imageable area. The margins are
;; specified in PostScript points. If omitted, the margins are
;; assumed to be 0.

;; will most likely like the easy alternatives even less.
