SYNOPSIS

tfrt [options] [tree]

DESCRIPTION

tfrt is an X11/Motif based graphical editor for drawing function decomposition trees. Trees can be loaded from and stored to a file. It can print trees to a PostScript printer or save as PostScript to a file.

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

ARGUMENTS

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

Without a tree argument, tfrt creates a new empty function decomposition tree with the name 'untitled.frt'.

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

-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.

-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.

FILES

The following relative files are relative to $TCM_HOME.

bin/tfrt

the function decomposition tree 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.
