      NAME
           mv - a troff macro package for typesetting view graphs and
           slides

      SYNTAX
           troff [ -a ] [ -rX1 ] -mv [ options ] [ files ]
           troff [ -a ] [ -rX1 ] -mvt [ -a ] [ [ options ] [ files ]

      DESCRIPTION
           This package makes it easy to typeset view graphs and
           projection slides in a variety of sizes.  A few macros
           (briefly described below) accomplish most of the formatting
           tasks needed in making transparencies.  All of the
           facilities of troff(1), eqn(1), and tbl(1) are available for
           more difficult tasks.

           The output can be previewed on most terminals, and, in
           particular, on the Tektronix 4014.  For these two devices,
           specify the -rX1 option (this option is automatically
           specified by the mvt command-q.v.-when that command is
           invoked with the -T4014 option).  To preview output on other
           terminals, specify the -a option.

           The available macros are:

           .VS [n] [i] [d]      Foil-start macro; foil size is to be
                                7''x7''; n is the foil number, i is the
                                foil identification, d is the date; the
                                foil-start macro resets all parameters
                                (indent, point size, etc.) to initial
                                default values, except for the values
                                of i and d arguments inherited from a
                                previous foil-start macro; it also
                                invokes the .A macro (see below).

                                The naming convention for this and the
                                following eight macros is that the
                                first character of the name (V or S)
                                distinguishes between view graphs and
                                slides, respectively, while the second
                                character indicates whether the foil is
                                square (S), small wide (w), small high
                                (h), big wide (W), or big high (H).
                                Slides are ``skinnier'' than the
                                corresponding view graphs:  the ratio
                                of the longer dimension to the shorter
                                one is larger for slides than for view
                                graphs.  As a result, slide foils can
                                be used for view graphs, but not vice
                                versa; on the other hand, view graphs
                                can accommodate a bit more text.

           .Vw [n] [i] [d]      Same as .VS, except that foil size is
                                7'' wide x 5'' high.
           .Vh [n] [i] [d]      Same as .VS, except that foil size is
                                5''x7''.
           .VW [n] [i] [d]      Same as .VS, except that foil size is
                                7''x5.4''.
           .VH [n] [i] [d]      Same as .VS, except that foil size is
                                7''x9''.
           .Sw [n] [i] [d]      Same as .VS, except that foil size is
                                7''x5''.
           .Sh [n] [i] [d]      Same as .VS, except that foil size is
                                5''x7''.
           .SW [n] [i] [d]      Same as .VS, except that foil size is
                                7''x5.4''.
           .SH [n] [i] [d]      Same as .VS, except that foil size is
                                7''x9''.
           .A  [x]              Place text that follows at the first
                                indentation level (left margin); the
                                presence of x suppresses the 1/2 line
                                spacing from the preceding text.
           .B  [m [s] ]         Place text that follows at the second
                                indentation level; text is preceded by
                                a mark; m is the mark (default is a
                                large bullet); s is the increment or
                                decrement to the point size of the mark
                                with respect to the prevailing point
                                size (default is 0); if s is 100, it
                                causes the point size of the mark to be
                                the same as that of the default mark.
           .C  [m [s] ]         Same as .B, but for the third
                                indentation level; default mark is a
                                dash.
           .D  [m [s] ]         Same as .B, but for the fourth
                                indentation level; default mark is a
                                small bullet.
           .T  string           String is printed as an over-size,
                                centered title.
           .I  [in] [a [x] ]    Change the current text indent (does
                                not affect titles); in is the indent
                                (in inches unless dimensioned, default
                                is 0); if in is signed, it is an
                                increment or decrement; the presence of
                                a invokes the .A macro (see below) and
                                passes x (if any) to it.
           .S  [p] [l]          Set the point size and line length; p
                                is the point size (default is
                                ``previous''); if p is 100, the point
                                size reverts to the initial default for
                                the current foil-start macro; if p is
                                signed, it is an increment or decrement
                                (default is 18 for .VS, .VH, and .SH,
                                and 14 for the other foil-start

                                macros); l is the line length (in
                                inches unless dimensioned; default is
                                4.2'' for .Vh, 3.8'' for .Sh, 5'' for
                                .SH, and 6'' for the other foil-start
                                macros).
           .DF n f [n f ...]    Define font positions; may not appear
                                within a foil's input text (i.e., it
                                may only appear after all the input
                                text for a foil, but before the next
                                foil-start macro); n is the position of
                                font f; up to four ``n f'' pairs may be
                                specified; the first font named becomes
                                the prevailing font; the initial
                                setting is (H is a synonym for G):
                                      .DF  1  H  2  I  3  B  4  S
           .DV [a] [b] [c] [d]  Alter the vertical spacing between
                                indentation levels; a is the spacing
                                for .A, b is for .B, c is for .C, and d
                                is for .D; all non-null arguments must
                                be dimensioned; null arguments leave
                                the corresponding spacing unaffected;
                                initial setting is:
                                      .DV  .5v  .5v  .5v  0v
           .U  str1 [str2]      Underline str1 and concatenate str2 (if
                                any) to it.

           The last four macros in the above list do not cause a break;
           the .I macro causes a break only if it is invoked with more
           than one argument; all the other macros cause a break.

           The macro package also recognizes the following upper-case
           synonyms for the corresponding lower-case troff requests:
                 .AD  .BR  .CE  .FI  .HY  .NA  .NF  .NH  .NX  .SO  .SP
           .TA  .TI

           The Tm string produces the trademark symbol.

           The input tilde (~) character is translated into a blank on
           output.

           The .VW and .SW foils are meant to be 9" wide by 7" high,

           but because phototypesetter paper is usually only 8" wide,
           the foils are set 7" wide by 5.4" high and so must be
           enlarged by a ratio of 9:7 (~129%) to be used as 9" by 7"
           foils.
