NAME

       tatd - Tool for UML Activity Diagrams

SYNOPSIS

       tatd [options] [document]

DESCRIPTION

       tatd  is  an  X11/Motif based graphical editor for drawing UML activity
       diagrams. 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.

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

ARGUMENTS

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

       Without  a document argument, tatd creates a new empty activity diagram
       with the name ’untitled.atd’.

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

       -toPS [file.ps]
              Generate PostScript (to file.ps or stdout when no file name  was
              given) and quit.

       -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.

ENVIRONMENT

       The TCM_HOME environment variable should be the directory where the TCM
       files are installed.

       PATH   Should include $TCM_HOME/bin

       MANPATH
              Should include $TCM_HOME/man

       PRINTER
              Name of the default printer that is used by tatd.

       LD_LIBRARY_PATH
              Should  include  $TCM_HOME/lib  when  the  distribution contains
              shared object libraries in $TCM_HOME/lib.

FILES

       The following relative files are relative to $TCM_HOME.

       bin/tatd
              the activity diagram 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.
