PAW-DEMOS(1)						      General Commands Manual						      PAW-DEMOS(1)

NAME

       paw-demos - run PAW demonstrations

SYNOPSIS

       paw-demos [options] [example_num [test_num]]

DESCRIPTION

       paw-demos  is  a  script  to  run  the  demonstrations  of  PAW	in  the  paw-demos  package.   It will create a demo directory (by default
       $HOME/paw-demos), copy the demos from /usr/share/paw-demos to this directory, and run them.  Both examples and tests are available.

       example_num is the number of the example to start with; examples are skipped if example_num > 31.  test_num is the number of  the  test	to
       start with; tests are skipped if test_num > 8.  Note that the first example is numbered 1 but the first test is numbered 0.

OPTIONS

       --batch
	      Run demos in batch mode; output to PostScript.  The resulting output files are placed into a "linux" subdirectory of the demo direc-
	      tory.

       --clean
	      Clean the demo directory given by the --dir option (or the default directory if --dir is	not  given).   This  option  causes  exam-
	      ple_num, test_num, --batch, and --driver to be ignored.

       --dir dir
	      Specify  the  directory  in which to run the PAW demos, relative to $HOME.  If it does not already exist, it will be created and the
	      demos copied to it from the directory /usr/share/doc/paw-demos/examples.	The default is $HOME/paw-demos.

       --display display
	      Specify the display to use.  The default is the current value of the $DISPLAY environment variable.

       --driver driver
	      Specify a graphics driver.  Available options are "X11" for pawX11 and "++" for paw++.

       --help Show a summary of options.

FILES

       /usr/share/paw-demos contains the PAW demonstrations.
       $HOME/paw-demos is the default directory in which to run the demos.

       This manual page and the paw-demos script that it describes were written by Kevin McCarty <kmccarty@debian.org> for  the  Debian  GNU/Linux
       system (but may be used by others).  The demos themselves were written by various PAW contributors.
