SYNOPSIS

       gperiodic [option(s)] [element_symbol | atomic_number]

DESCRIPTION

       gperiodic  is  a  small X/GTK+-based program which allows you to browse
       through a periodic  table  of  chemical  elements,  and  view  somewhat
       detailed  information  on  each  of  the  elements.   118  elements are
       currently listed.

       -c <Temp>
              Color the elements  according  to  their  phase  at  temperature
              <Temp> in Kelvins.

       -D     Dump the periodic table.

       -v     Be verbose.

       Possible arguments:

       element_symbol | atomic_number
              Display information on the element with the given element symbol
              or atomic number.  The output is UTF-8 encoded (see  Debian  bug
