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.
- -version
- Write the TCM version to standard output and quit.
ENVIRONMENT¶
The
TCM_HOME environment variable should be the directory where the TCM

- PATH
- Should include $TCM_HOME/bin
- MANPATH
- Should include $TCM_HOME/man
- PRINTER
- Name of the default printer that is used by tatd.
- 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/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.
- 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.
