If I got it right, it's

  "On-Line Smooth Trajectory Planning for Manipulators"

which doesn't seem to be accessible from the link given at linuxcnc.org.
I'm a bit pressed ATM, but I'll see later.

I thought so, too, but only managed to find this paper from 2003, written in
collaboration with Elizabeth Cross.

 Jerk-Bounded Manipulator Trajectory Planning:

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/8898/277e40cca945a674f6765ed31d733dd90aaa.pdf

As I'm something of a jerk myself I found the paper of particular
relevance.

YMMV.

I have no doubts it will do the color stuffs just fine. The code at its 
core is at least 30yo and did fine printing it to a cgp-220 ink 
squirter. Which had all the resolution of a 7 dot x 9 pin dot matrix pin 
pounder, so it did far more damage to the image than the code did.

It is the file open dialog that cripples it, sucking dead toads thru soda 
straws, but theres a move afoot on the left coast here to outlaw straws 
now. Probably another of PETA's wild ideas predicated on the toad being 
alive before it encountered the straw. :)

Since it (ghostscript) was purely a cli driven codebase 30 years ago, 
taking all its option settings from command line arguments, the trouble 
I encountered can be laid on the table in front of the coder who added 
the GUI file open dialog in more recent history. A quick look at "man 
gv" shows that the cli arguments have not all been stripped out. If 
curious try to see the diffs between gv -h, and ghostscript -h. I note 
that ghostscript still carry's the Artifex copyright notice:

gene@coyote:/media$ ghostscript -h
GPL Ghostscript 9.05 (2012-02-08)
Copyright (C) 2010 Artifex Software, Inc.  All rights reserved.

Whereas gv has even stripped that out. Both should be able to handle 
pdf's up to 1.3 but the pdf spec has been advanced since, I think to 
1.5? but don't have data to show that other than writing a script to get 
that from the headers of a quarter terabyte of pdf's I have here.

All this of coarse can be seen by any user who cares to look, so I'm 
carrying a bucket of very cold ashes to Newcastle with this post.

I'll do some research on gv if nobody bears me to it. Gv builds on ghostscript

Probably a good question Tomas, but I've no recent experience with it. 
Installed now, and looking for a pdf to look at, I found the phd thesis 
of Sonja MacFarland, dated in 2001, that probably covers some of the 
math in the LinuxCNC trajectory planner, which was last updated about a 
year ago.

Very interesting reading about properly driving a robot for both smooth 
motions and minimum wasted time. Several hundred pages of method and 
math that exceeds my math abilities.

I see it has "print all", and "print-marked" options that use lpr, so one 
would have to setup some defaults to make it use the correct printer, 
and printer profile in a more than one printer environment. Getting 
that /right/ might take some experimentation.

It properly handled the graphics symbols commonly used in math, but of 
what I looked at, no color graphics, so let me look at something I am 
quite familiar with. But I wasn't able to navigate its broken directory 
reader in its open selector to gain access to those docs. Thats a 
showstopper. The slider that should allow one to scan a directory tree 
alternates between a small marker one can drag with a mouse, but on a 
second drag attempt it jumps to full height of the buttons space, and 
allows no more scanning of the /usr/share/doc directory while still in 
the a's. Total show stopper here if it's incapable of navigating a 
directory with thousands of entries.

What's wrong with gv? That's ghostview's younger sister, and (as
ghostview) a GUI around ghostscript's X backend. Displays pdf and

20% or more are DNP if the wrong commands for page size are used, and 
they look like they are correct for letter sized stuff.  Due to lack of 
available A4 paper on this side of the pond, that A4 has not been tested 
here.

I do not know that, but its good on an r-pi 3b, running jessie lite, 
printing over the network to this machine as a printer server, with two 
printers and around 5 profiles, and from this machine and 4 other wintel 
boxes all running wheezy. I think cups-browsed is a requirement though.

Considering the src, and licenseing, thats not surprising. ghostscript 
was written to get away from that, was gpl'd but no support from 
Artifex, but has since been relegated to print only functions, stripping 
out what was an excellent at the time 20 years back, a truely excellent 
screen renderer and a page file at a time printer driver.  ARexx on the 
amiga was an excellent, do it all language, and I wrote a file processor 
all those years ago that could do duplex on a simple printer. Took me 
most of 3 days to do a 505 page book. But the output was good stuff. Got 
a bit tedious if the file went past 500 pages though as the disk drives 
of the day didn't have room for all those page files. Ghostscript itself 
took a while to build when it was around the 5.0 to 5.2 mark, and has 
lost quite a bit of weight since, and sas C had problems with some of 
its constructs.  They weren't legal C-89 code.

Everything I've loaded into okular has rendered well, and its not at all

Lightweight, old-timer.  And
 
 The renderer in MuPDF is tailored for high quality anti-aliased graphics. It
 renders text with metrics and spacing accurate to within fractions of a pixel
 for the highest fidelity in reproducing the look of a printed page on screen.

https://mupdf.com/

But she don't print.

I might be best served trying a few of the other suggested PDF viewers;
there are probably others that can compete with the opening speed of
mupdf that also offer printing.

Excuse me but why in hell would he do that?  I mean that's quite some
overhead just to print a lousy pdf, and as you offer no clue concerning
the outstanding benefits that might accrue from running a Windows pdf
viewer in Wine rather than some cozy, native program (unless I
inadvertently cut out some of your reasoning below, in which case I will
be shot at dawn, not to worry) I'm curious as all get out.

Me personally I'm recommending 'Alf's PDF Viewer Like Vim' (aka apvlv),
though I've never used it (but just might one of these days, you betcha)
because I like the name (and it seems to be lightweight like, um,
mupdf). And it prints!

You could consider PDF-XChange Viewer. It is a Windows program, but works
perfectly with Wine.

www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer

The developers would love to provide a Linux port, however, but, as they
state on their site:

"Developing Linux versions would be a huge undertaking and - at least
presently - we do not have the resources available for it.
However, it should be noted that the PDF-XChange product line received a
Platinum rating from WineHQ, which means our products will operate at a
very good level of functionality via Wine."

Re: Print with mupdf?

[Greg Marks]

With the PDF file open in mupdf, you can enter this Bash command in a
terminal to print the PDF:

   pdfviewercommand="\/usr\/lib\/mupdf\/mupdf-x11 -r [1-9][0-9]\+" ; 
pdfpid=$(ps -lu $(whoami) | grep mupdf | sed 's/^[^ ]\+ \+[^ ]\+ \+[^ ]\+ 
\+\([0-9]\+\) .*/\1/g') ; pdffile=$(cat /proc/$pdfpid/cmdline | tr '\0' '\40' | 
sed "s/^$pdfviewercommand \+\(.*\)/\1/g" | sed 's/ \+$//g') ; directory=$(pwdx 
$pdfpid | cut -d' ' -f 2) ; lpr $directory/$pdffile

Of course, you'd want to create an alias or a function for this.
With a little bit more work, you could have it offer you options in
the event that more than one PDF is open.

Best regards,
Greg Marks

Is there any way to print from mupdf? It's very fast for viewing PDFs
but of limited use to me if it can't print.
