NAME

       xudced - user-defined character editor

SYNOPSIS

       xudced [udc_file [WIDTHxHEIGHT]]

DESCRIPTION

       xudced  is  an editor that creates, modifies, and deletes user-defined characters (UDC).  It uses bitmap(1) to edit UDC character patterns.
       Character patterns from existing HP Asian fonts can be modified to create UDCs.	xudced runs on the X Window System, Version 11.

       If udc_file is not specified, the file $HOME/.nlio_udc is read.

       WIDTHxHEIGHT sets the size of UDC pattern.  This can be specified by the udc_width and the udc_height resources.  If it is  not	specified,
       24x24 is used.

   Menu
       Functions  are  selected  with  pull-down menus.  To select a function, move the mouse pointer to the menu header.  Press and hold the left
       mouse button.  A pull-down menu appears.  Drag the mouse pointer down to the desired function and release the mouse button.

       Functions with the ...  suffix invoke a pop-up box that requests further information.

       The following functions are available:
