greek

1. text, graphics To display text as abstract dots and lines

in order to give a preview of layout without actually being

legible. This is faster than drawing the characters correctly

which may require scaling or other transformations. Greeking

is particularly useful when displaying a reduced image of a

document where the text would be too small to be legible on

the display anyway.
