RasterView is an Apple, CUPS, and PWG raster file viewing application. It basically allows you to look at the raster data produced by any of the standard CUPS RIP filters (cgpdftoraster, imagetoraster, pdftoraster, and pstoraster) and is normally used to either test those filters or look at the data that is being sent to your raster printer driver.

If you plan on (re)compiling it, you'll need FLTK (http://www.fltk.org/) 1.1.x or later and a C++ compiler.
Run the following commands:
./configure
make
The program is called "rasterview" on UNIX/Linux, "RasterView.app" on macOS, and "RasterView.exe" on Windows. Run the program and then open a raster file, or pass the filename on the command-line. You can view multiple files simultaneously.
The "test" subdirectory includes a script for generating raster data using the standard RIP filters. Run the following command for help:
test/maketestfiles.sh help
