.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the \fBthuban\fR command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page.
.PP
\fBthuban\fR is an interactiv geographic data viewer.
Thuban can read geographic data in the shapefile format. To control
the visual appearance of a layer you have to select the layer in the
session window of thuban. Afterwards you can change the layers color
with the Layer-menu.
.PP
You can load the layers table with the Layer-table-menu. Afterwards you
can query the table for feature selection. You can also load new tables
with the Table-menu and make a table join to the current layer table.
.PP
Maps can be printed or exported to the PS-format by Map/print.
.PP
All changes can be saved in a thuban session file. If a thuban session
file has been indicated on command line it will be loaded by thuban. If
no thuban session file has been given thuban starts with a new session.
