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.
A related technique is lorem ipsum.
