DESCRIPTION
This man page is intended as a quick reference for the command line
switches; the real documentation is available as mgv.sgml (SGML, linuxdoc
DTD), mgv.txt (ASCII text), mgv.ps (PostScript, U.S. Letter paper), mgv-
a4.ps (PostScript, A4 paper), and mgv.html (HTML) in /usr/local/lib/mgv.

are offered to give you finer control over when anti-aliasing is
used. These switches set the antialiasEPS application resource.
-antialias, -noantialias
Enable or disable anti-aliasing within Ghostscript; by default,
anti-aliasing is enabled. If anti-aliasing is enable, then the
x11alpha device is used and Ghostscript will be run with the

device will be used. This switch sets the antialias resource for
