Synopsis This function attempts to display an object in a visual way. If the object is an HTML file, a browser will be called. If it is a plot, a postscript viewer will be called, if it is a Latex file, the xdvi viewer will be called. This function is very system dependent, it works only in unix/linux, and assumes that the underlying programs are available.
