NAME

   tgt - Tool for Generic Tables

SYNOPSIS

   tgt [options] [document]

DESCRIPTION

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

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

ARGUMENTS

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

   Without a document name as argument, tgt creates a  new  generic  table
   with the name 'untitled.gt'.

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

   -cell widthxheight
          Sets the minimal cell size of the editor to  width  pixels  wide
          and  height pixels high. The cells in the initial table have the
          minimal size.

   -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.

   -table rowsxcolumns
          The  table  editor  will be initialized with a table having rows
          rows and columns columns. By default the  initial  table  has  7
          rows and 7 columns.

   -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 tgt.

   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/tgt
          the generic table 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.
