SYNOPSIS

ttut [options] [document]

DESCRIPTION

ttut is an X11/Motif based graphical editor for drawing transaction-use 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.

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

ARGUMENTS

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

Without a document name as argument, ttut creates a new transaction-use table with the name 'untitled.tut'.

In addition to the standard X11 toolkit options (see X11(7)) ttut 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.

-toFig [file.fig] [-latex]
