Description MT 2005-02-27 07:39:50 UTC
While reading electronic books, sometimes it is useful to be able to view two
pages side-by-side, as it makes for more efficient utilization of the screen
space. It would be useful to have this available as an alternative display mode.
Comment 1 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-02-27 11:22:44 UTC
Why not using two windows opened side by side ?

Ccing Bryan, he may have more useful input.

Sounds kind of like bug 166830

jrb was looking into doing bug 164597 with scrolling from left to right instead
of top to bottom.  This would allow you to make the window wider and see two
pages side by side. I'm not sure if we should mark this as a dup of one of those
knowing that or maybe just wait until it happens.

JFTR: kpdf can display two pages side-by-side, continuous vertical scrolling.
However, I just tried that with one document and it displayed the odd
(right-hand side, recto) page on the left, destroying the illusion of looking at
an open book.

Why am I writing this? Don't know. Probably as a detail that might otherwise be
lost.

Something (some version of acroread, perhaps) had a feature where you click on
an icon in the toolbar then drag it down and right till you get the number of pages 
(X * Y) you want visible in one chunk. The simple 'facing pages' option which is
most often used is just a special case of that.

Dual page view has landed in CVS even though it's a little rough around the
edges right now.
