b = document_name.view(ʃviewer_argumentsʅ);
If the Document contains data that
can be displayed using an
embedded web brower, the content is shown in an embedded window. For other types of data, an external application is launched to display the data using the system's default viewer for that file type.
Optional
named arguments can be used to control how the embedded web browser displays on Windows:
- title := string expression giving the title of the window.
- width := numeric expression specifying the width of the window in display units.
- height := numeric expression specifying the height of the window in display units.
- showCloseButton := conditional expression that, if false, hides the window's Close button.
If either the height or width is specified, then both values must be provided. Hiding the Close button also removes the margin around the web browser, so the browser will fill the entire embedded window.
The function returns a logical value of
1 (
true) if the file was displayed,
0 (
false) if there was an error viewing the file, and
default if the Document object was empty.
