NAME

       tpsd - Tool for Process Structure Diagrams

SYNOPSIS

       tpsd [options] [diagram]

DESCRIPTION

       tpsd  is  an  X11/Motif  based  graphical  editor  for  drawing process
       structure diagrams.  Diagrams can be loaded from and stored to a  file.
       It  can print diagrams to a PostScript printer or save as PostScript to
       a file.

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

ARGUMENTS

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

       Without  a diagram argument, tpsd creates a new empty process structure
       diagram with the name ’untitled.psd’.

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

       -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 tpsd.

       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/tpsd
              the process structure 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.
