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.

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.
