NAME
skencil - An interactive drawing program
SYNOPSIS
skencil [options] filename
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the command line options of the
skencil application. This manual page was written for Debian because
the original application does not have a manual page. Instead, it has
a User and a Developer guide in HTML format; see below.
Skencil is an interactive, object oriented drawing program. This means
that the drawing is composed of objects like rectangles, lines or
pieces of text. Skencil allows you to manipulate the objects by moving
them around, resizing them or changing their color, etc.
This type of program is also called a vector drawing program because it
stores the objects internally as coordinates. Apart from Skencil, there
are some other (freeware) programs of this type available, such as xfig
or tgif.
OPTIONS
The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with optional
long options starting with two dashes (‘-’). A summary of options are

-h,--help

-d,--display=DISPLAY

-g,--geometry=WxH+X+Y

SEE ALSO
A User and a Developer Guide to Skencil in HTML format are available
via the Debian Help system.
