I.e. gv parses the DSC comments to determine the bounding box, then 
passes an appropriate crop window to the x11 device through the X 
properties mechanism.

The display device, however, doesn't have such a mechanism. I know there 
was a plan to do tile based rendering for viewers with the display 
device. Does anyone remember how the region of interest was going to be 
specified for that?
