NAME¶
ttdt - Tool for Transaction Decomposition Tables
SYNOPSIS¶
ttdt [
options] [
document]
DESCRIPTION¶
ttdt is an X11/Motif based graphical editor for drawing transaction
decomposition 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.
ttdt is part of
The Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling (TCM).
ARGUMENTS¶
You can call
ttdt with a single document name as argument. If this
argument is an existing file then
ttdt tries to load a document from
it. If it does not exist, a new document is created with the argument as
document name.
ttdt files should have suffix '*.tdt'.
Without a document name as argument,
ttdt creates a new transaction
decomposition table with the name 'untitled.tdt'.
In addition to the standard X11 toolkit options (see X11(7))
ttdt 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
ttdt.
- 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/ttdt
- the transaction decomposition 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.
