NAME

       tgt - Tool for Generic Tables

SYNOPSIS

       tgt [options] [document]

DESCRIPTION

       tgt  is  an X11/Motif based graphical editor for drawing generic tables.  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.

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

ARGUMENTS

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

       Without  a  document  name  as  argument,  tgt  creates  a new generic table with the name
       'untitled.gt'.

       In addition to the standard X11 toolkit options  (see  X11(7))  tgt  accepts  the  options
       listed below:

       -cell widthxheight
              Sets  the  minimal  cell  size of the editor to width pixels wide and height pixels
              high. The cells in the initial table have the minimal size.

       -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.

       -table rowsxcolumns
              The table editor will be initialized with a table  having  rows  rows  and  columns
              columns. By default the initial table has 7 rows and 7 columns.

       -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 tgt.

       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/tgt
              the generic table 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.
