NAME

       tgd - Tool for Generic Diagrams

SYNOPSIS

       tgd [options] [diagram]

DESCRIPTION

       tgd is an X11/Motif based graphical editor for drawing generic diagrams.  Diagrams can be loaded from and
       stored to a file. It can print diagrams to a PostScript printer or save as PostScript to a file.

       tgd is part of The Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling (TCM).

ARGUMENTS

       You  can  call tgd with a single diagram name as argument.  If this argument is an existing file then tgd
       tries to load a diagram from it. If it does not exist, a new diagram is  created  with  the  argument  as
       diagram name. tgd files should have suffix '*.gd'.

       Without a diagram argument, tgd creates a new empty generic diagram with the name 'untitled.gd'.

       In addition to the standard X11 toolkit options (see X11(7)) tgd accepts the options listed below:

       -drawing widthxheight
              Create a drawing area of width pixels wide and height pixels high.

       -help  Write all available options to standard output and quit.

       -maxdrawing widthxheight
              The drawing area can not be larger than width pixels wide and height pixels high.

       -priv_cmap
              Start the editor with a private colormap.

       -projdir directory
              Set the project directory (current working directory) to directory.

       -toEPS [file.eps]
              Generate EPS (to file.eps or stdout when no file name was given) and quit.

       -toFig [file.fig] [-latex]
              Generate  Fig  format (to file.fig or stdout when no file name was given and quit. When the -latex
              option is given, LaTeX fonts are generated, otherwise normal PostScript fonts are generated.   The
              Fig format can be read by xfig(1) and fig2dev(1).

       -toPNG file.png
              Generate PNG format to file.png and quit.

       -toPS [file.ps]
              Generate PostScript (to file.ps or stdout when no file name was given) and quit.

       -version
              Write the TCM version to standard output and quit.

ENVIRONMENT

       The TCM_HOME environment variable should be the directory where the TCM files are installed.

       PATH   Should include $TCM_HOME/bin

       MANPATH
              Should include $TCM_HOME/man

       PRINTER
              Name of the default printer that is used by tgd.

       LD_LIBRARY_PATH
              Should   include   $TCM_HOME/lib  when  the  distribution  contains  shared  object  libraries  in
              $TCM_HOME/lib.

FILES

       The following relative files are relative to $TCM_HOME.

       bin/tgd
              the generic diagram editor.

       bin/psf
              a program to filter PostScript output.

       lib/banner.ps
              PostScript banner page that can be used when the printer does not print a banner page.

       lib/help/*
              The help directory contains a collection of text files for the on-line help.

       lib/TCM
              X Resources (the same as the ones that are built-in).  You can customize the fonts and  colors  by
              setting    resources    in    your    X    defaults   database.    Each   string   of   the   form
              ``TCM.resource:definition'' sets a resource.

       /tmp/tcmXXXXXX
              Pseudo random temporary file, for PostScript output.

       lib/tcm.conf
              TCM editor configuration file. This file contains values for some of the editor defaults like  the
              page size, the default fonts etc. This file is read by each editor upon startup.

       $HOME/.tcmrc
              Each  user  of  TCM  can  override  some of the options of tcm.conf by its own configuration file,
              installed in $HOME/.tcmrc.
