.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Pondus is a personal weight manager that keeps track of your body weight and, optionally, the percentage of bodyfat, muscle and water\&. It aims to be simple to use, lightweight and fast\&. All data can be plotted to get a quick overview of the history of your weight\&. A simple weight planner allows to define \(lqtarget weights\(rq and this plan can be compared with the actual measurements in a plot\&.
.sp
By default, the user data is stored in ~/\&.pondus/user_data\&.xml and is written to this file automatically on exit, so you don\(cqt have to worry about saving the data you entered\&.
.sp
All functionality is available via the toolbar or via keyboard/mouse shortcuts\&. The following shortcuts are currently used:

.sp
To improve the workflow, the add dialog is initialized with the current date and the last measured weight\&. Both date and weight can be incremented/decremented by one day/0\&.1kg(lbs) by pressing \(lq+\(rq or \(lq\-\(rq, respectively\&. Pressing \(lqEnter\(rq in one of the entry fields is a shortcut for clicking the \(lqOK\(rq\-button\&.
.sp
A simple weight planner allows you to define future \(lqtarget weights\(rq, i\&.e\&. the weight you want to have at some future date\&. After enabling the weight planner in the preferences, a selector at the bottom of the main window determines whether you are currently editing the weight measurements or the weight plan\&.
.sp
The CSV im\-/export dialogs allow to im\-/export weight data from/to other applications\&. Currently, the only supported format is 2008\-03\-26,81\&.3 (for example)\&.
