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