# RasterView v1.5

This file describes RasterView, a CUPS/PWG raster file viewing application. This
program is provided under the terms version 2 of the GNU General Public License.
RasterView is a CUPS, PWG, and Apple 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.

RasterView is provided as free software under version 2 of the GNU General
Public license.
