NAME
       freemat - Mathematics Framework

SYNOPSIS
       freemat

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the freemat command.	This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original pro-
       gram does not have a manual page.

       freemat is a free environment for rapid engineering and scientific prototyping and data processing. It is  similar  to  commercial  systems
       such as MATLAB from Mathworks, and IDL from Research Systems, but is Open Source.  freemat is available under the GPL license.

OPTIONS
       freemat	follow	the  usual  GNU  command  line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').  A summary of options is included
       below.

       -f <command>
	      Runs freemat in command mode.  freemat will startup, run the given command, and then quit.  Note that this option uses the remainder
	      of the command line, so use it last.

       -nogui Suppress the GUI for freemat.

       -noplastique
	      Do not force the plastique style for GUI.

       -noX   Disables the graphics subsystem.

       -e     uses a dumb terminal interface (no command line editing, etc.)  This flag is primarily used when you want to capture input/output to
	      freemat from another application.

       -i <path>
	      Install freemat - provide the path to the freemat data directory (containing the scripts, help and other	files.).   Normally  these
	      are  installed  in  /usr/share/freemat but regardless, you must run freemat -i once to indicate the location of this directory. Note
	      that in this mode, freemat will only update its internal configuration and then exit.

       -p <path>

       -help  Show summary of options.
