NAME

       tcrd - Tool for Class-Relationship Diagrams

SYNOPSIS

       tcrd [options] [document]

DESCRIPTION

       tcrd is an X11/Motif based graphical editor for drawing class-relationship diagrams.  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.

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

ARGUMENTS

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

       Without a document argument, tcrd creates a new empty class-relationship diagram with the name 'untitled.crd'.

       In addition to the standard X11 toolkit options (see X11(7)), tcrd 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.

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

       -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 tcrd.

       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/tcrd
	      the class relationship 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.
