tesd \- Tool for Entity relationShip Diagrams
10
is an X11/Motif based graphical editor for drawing entity-relationship
11
diagrams in an UML-like notation. Documents can be loaded from and stored
12
to a file. It can print documents to a PostScript printer or save as PostScript
13
to a file. TESD is the successor of TERD (see terd(1)).
15
\fItesd\fP is part of \fIThe Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling (TCM)\fP.
18
You can call \fItesd\fP with a single document name as argument.
19
If this argument is an existing file then \fItesd\fP
20
tries to load a document from it. If it does not exist, a new document
21
is created with the argument as document name. \fItesd\fP files should
24
Without a document argument, \fItesd\fP creates a new
25
empty ER diagram with the name 'untitled.esd'.
27
In addition to the standard X11 toolkit options (see X11(7)), \fItesd\fP accepts
28
the options listed below:
30
.B \-drawing \fIwidth\fPx\fIheight\fP
31
Create a drawing area of \fIwidth\fP pixels wide and
32
\fIheight\fP pixels high.
35
Write all available options to standard output and quit.
37
.B \-maxdrawing \fIwidth\fPx\fIheight\fP
38
The drawing area can not be larger than \fIwidth\fP pixels wide and
39
\fIheight\fP pixels high.
42
Start the editor with a private colormap.
44
.B \-projdir \fIdirectory\fP
45
Set the project directory (current working directory) to \fIdirectory\fP.
47
.B \-toPS [\fIfile\fP.ps]
48
Generate PostScript (to \fIfile\fP.ps or stdout when no file name was
51
.B \-toEPS [\fIfile\fP.eps]
52
Generate EPS (to \fIfile\fP.eps or stdout when no file name was
55
.B \-toFig [\fIfile\fP.fig] [-latex]
56
Generate Fig format (to \fIfile\fP.fig or stdout when no file name was
57
given and quit. When the -latex option is given, LaTeX fonts are
58
generated, otherwise normal PostScript fonts are generated.
59
The Fig format can be read by xfig(1) and fig2dev(1).
61
.B \-toPNG \fIfile\fP.png
62
Generate PNG format to \fIfile\fP.png and quit.
64
.B \-toPS [\fIfile\fP.ps]
65
Generate PostScript (to \fIfile\fP.ps or stdout when no file name was
69
Write the TCM version to standard output and quit.
72
The \fBTCM_HOME\fP environment variable should be the directory
73
where the TCM files are installed.
77
Should include $TCM_HOME/bin
80
Should include $TCM_HOME/man
83
Name of the default printer that is used by \fItesd\fP.
86
Should include $TCM_HOME/lib when the distribution contains shared
87
object libraries in $TCM_HOME/lib.
90
The following relative files are relative to $TCM_HOME.
93
the entity-relationship diagram editor.
96
a program to filter PostScript output.
99
PostScript banner page that can be used when the printer
100
does not print a banner page.
103
The help directory contains a collection of text files for
107
X Resources (the same as the ones that are built-in).
108
You can customize the fonts and colors by setting resources
109
in your X defaults database. Each string of the form
110
``TCM.resource:definition'' sets a resource.
113
Pseudo random temporary file, for PostScript output.
116
TCM editor configuration file. This file contains values
117
for some of the editor defaults like the page size, the default
118
fonts etc. This file is read by each editor upon startup.
121
Each user of TCM can override some of the options of tcm.conf
122
by its own configuration file, installed in $HOME/.tcmrc.
