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
