NAME

       thuban - interactive geographic data viewer

SYNOPSIS

       thuban [thuban-session-file]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the thuban command.  This manual
       page was written for  the  Debian  distribution  because  the  original
       program does not have a manual page.

       thuban  is  an  interactiv  geographic  data  viewer.  Thuban  can read
       geographic  data  in  the  shapefile  format.  To  control  the  visual
       appearance  of  a  layer  you  have  to select the layer in the session
       window of thuban.  Afterwards you can change the layers color with  the
       Layer-menu.

       You can load the layers table with the Layer-table-menu. Afterwards you
       can query the table for feature selection. You can also load new tables
       with the Table-menu and make a table join to the current layer table.

       Maps can be printed or exported to the PS-format by Map/print.

       All  changes can be saved in a thuban session file. If a thuban session
       file has been indicated on command line it will be loaded by thuban. If
       no thuban session file has been given thuban starts with a new session.
