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 program 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.
