I've been doing research on how to invert the colors of a document which
is being viewed with gv (or any other ghostscript-based viewer).
ATM, the only thing I found is a small trick which works with some
files, not all (adding the command "{1 exch sub} settransfer" at the
beginning of the file), but this does not work with every file, and as
postscript and pdf documents are formats to be used with printers, not
screens, all of them are generated using white background and black
foreground (that being the right color set for printing), it would be,
IMHO, cleaner if this sort of "magic" was made by gv, or better, by
ghostscript.
So, I wonder if there's any ghostscript options to invert colors (white
is changed for black (and vice-versa), images are turned into negatives,
etc.).
Perhaps you need to also use setcolortransfer and redefine showpage to
be something like this:
/showpage {showpage 0 0 pagewidth pageheight rectfill} bind def
to turn the background from white to black
