CAD2D(1)

👑 CAD2D — the group chat version 👑

okay so bestie, this is CAD2D(1), a page from the General Commands Manual section, and it's literally the cutest little sibling in the QEPCAD family. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

CAD2D — A Program for producing CADs of R^2 Decomposition

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cad2d [-h|-v] [-noecho] [-t <num> ] [+N <numcells> ]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, CAD2D is a minor modification of QEPCAD for quantifier-free formulas in 2 variables. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

the glow-up here is that it can do some lifting steps completely with validated floating-point arithmetic, which lowkey can lead to a much reduced overall time for 2-dimensional CAD computation. no cap. 🔥

and specifically — if you're interested in plotting a 2-dimensional CAD, this is a better choice than QEPCAD. that's the tea. ☕

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -h — help information. bestie needs a lil guidance sometimes 🫶
• -v — print the version string. main character energy, identity check ✨
• -noecho — turns off echoing of input. shhh, no narration 🤫
• -t <num> — sets a timeout of <num> seconds. clock is ticking babes ⏰
• +N<numcells> — sets garbage collected space to <numcells>. the default is 2000000, and the maximum allowable is 1073741822 (because "Word" is 32 bits — that's the whole reason, periodt). 💀
• +h — prints the Saclib help message. another help menu, we love options 🌈

real talk though — if you're plotting a 2D CAD, skip over to this one. it's giving faster 💅

and that's the page fr fr 💜 — it's CAD2D(1) from the General Commands Manual, footer and all, so go forth and decompose R^2, you absolute icon 🎀✨🦋
