NAME

       LeoCAD - CAD program for LEGO models.

SYNOPSIS

       leocad [ infile [ -i [ outfile.ext ] [-w x] [-h y] ] ] [-l path]

DESCRIPTION

       LeoCAD  is a CAD program for creating virtual LEGO models. It has an easy to use interface
       and includes thousands of different parts in its library.

OPTIONS

       Below is a summary of all of the options  that  LeoCAD  accepts.  Most  options  have  two
       equivalent names, one of which is a single letter preceded by -, and the other of which is
       a long name preceded by --. Brackets ([ and ]) indicate that an option takes  an  optional
       argument.

       infile Loads the project file infile

       -i [outfile.ext]
       --image [outfile.ext]
              Saves  a picture to outfile.ext  in the image format specified by ext and exits. If
              outfile is not given then the program will use a name based  on  infile.  The  file
              format  is  selected  by ext and can be gif, bmp, png or jpg (if ext is not present
              then the default preferences format will be used).

       -w width
       --width width
              Sets the width of the picture to width.

       -h height
       --height height
              Sets the height of the picture to height.

       -f time
       --from time
              Start saving pictures at the step time.

       -t time
       --to time
              Save pictures until the step time.

       --highlight
              Adds a border around the pieces in the step they appear when saving pictures.

       -l path
       --libpath path
              Use alternate parts library found in path .  The  Debian  version  of  LeoCAD  uses
              /usr/share/leocad/ as the default.

ENVIRONMENT

       ``LEOCAD_LIB'' may be set to the path of the parts library.

EXAMPLES

        $ leocad car.lcd -i car.png -w 640 -h 480

       This  will  start  LeoCAD,  load  the file "car.lcd," create a png called "car.png" with a
       resolution of 640x480 and exit when done.
