GLE(1)

✨ GLE(1) ✨ — the General Commands Manual moment

okay bestie, sit down, grab a boba, because we're talking about qgle and honestly? she's lowkey iconic. this whole thing lives in the GLE(1) corner of your manual, so let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

qgle — a graphical interface to GLE, no cap ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

qgle

that's it. that's the whole thing. she takes zero arguments and walks in like she owns the place 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this manual page documents briefly the qgle command. that's the whole assignment, and we ate.

now, tea time 🍓: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. rude of it, honestly. instead, it has documentation in PDF format at:

/usr/share/doc/gle-graphics/gle-manual.pdf

not me having to go read a whole PDF when I could've had a man page 😭 anyway.

qgle is a graphical interface to GLE. the current GUI contains a preview window that can receive messages from GLE and display the resulting EPS file. the way it just… shows you your EPS?? main character energy fr fr. 🦋

plus, it can open GLE and EPS files directly (using Ghostscript and GLE). yes bestie, directly. we don't do middlemen.

and she's been leveling up ✨ — she now has the capability to add and edit simple objects, such as, lines, circles and arcs (snapping to a grid if required). the grid snap is giving organized queen 🧚

it can also change various properties of the objects, such as, line width, and color. customizing your lil shapes?? obsessed. 🔥

the perpendicular line and tangential line commands can be used to produce a line starting perpendicular or tangential to an existing object. geometry girlies rise up 📐✨

and OSnap can be used for the end point of a line. snapping like that?? so precise. so slay. 💅
