TUCD(1)
NAME
tucd - Tool for UML Use-case Diagrams
SYNOPSIS
tucd [options] [document]
DESCRIPTION
tucd is an X11/Motif based graphical editor for drawing UML use-case
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.
tucd is part of The Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling (TCM).
ARGUMENTS
You can call tucd with a single document name as argument. If this
argument is an existing file then tucd tries to load a document from
it. If it does not exist, a new document is created with the argument
as document name. tucd files should have suffix '*.ucd'.
Without a document argument, tucd creates a new empty use-case diagram
with the name 'untitled.ucd'.
In addition to the standard X11 toolkit options (see X11(7)), tucd
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.
- -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 tucd.
- 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/tucd
- the use-case 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.
