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.

Each user of TCM can override some of the options of tcm.conf by its own configuration file, installed in $HOME/.tcmrc.
