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 program 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.
