NAME
tefd - Tool for Data and Event Flow Diagrams
SYNOPSIS
tefd [options] [document]
DESCRIPTION
tefd is an X11/Motif based graphical editor for drawing data and
control flow 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.
tefd is part of The Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling (TCM).
ARGUMENTS
You can call tefd with a single document name as argument. If this
argument is an existing file then tefd tries to load a document from
it. If it does not exist, a new document is created with the argument
as document name. tefd files should have suffix ’*.efd’.
Without a document argument, tefd creates a new empty data and control
flow diagram with the name ’untitled.efd’.
In addition to the standard X11 toolkit options (see X11(7)) tefd
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.

FILES
The following relative files are relative to $TCM_HOME.
bin/tefd

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
