NAME
       thuban - interactive geographic data viewer

SYNOPSIS
       thuban [thuban-session-file]

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

       thuban is an interactiv geographic data viewer. Thuban can read geographic data in the shapefile format. To control the	visual	appearance
       of a layer you have to select the layer in the session window of thuban.  Afterwards you can change the layers color with the Layer-menu.

       You  can  load  the layers table with the Layer-table-menu. Afterwards you can query the table for feature selection. You can also load new
       tables with the Table-menu and make a table join to the current layer table.

       Maps can be printed or exported to the PS-format by Map/print.

       All changes can be saved in a thuban session file. If a thuban session file has been indicated on command line it will be loaded by thuban.
       If no thuban session file has been given thuban starts with a new session.
