✨ TCM — Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling ✨

okay bestie, welcome to TCM, straight out of section 1 of the General Commands Manual 💖 this is the little launcher that opens up a whole toolkit of conceptual modeling editors, and honestly? she's iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

tcm — Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

tcm [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So tcm is an X11/Motif based startup program for the Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling (TCM). With tcm you can display and start up all the available tools. That's it, that's the whole vibe — she's the group chat that introduces you to everybody 💅

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

On top of the standard X11 toolkit options (peep X11(7) for those), tcm also accepts the options listed below. Yes, she's generous like that:

• -help — writes all the available options to standard output and then quits. like, she shows you the menu and dips 🫶
• -priv_cmap — starts tcm (and every tool launched from tcm) with a private colormap.
• -version — writes the TCM version to standard output and quits. short, sweet, slay.

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• TCM_HOME — should be the directory where the TCM files are installed.
• PATH — should include $TCM_HOME/bin
• MANPATH — should include $TCM_HOME/man
• PRINTER — name of the default printer that is used by the tools.
• LD_LIBRARY_PATH — should include $TCM_HOME/lib when the distribution contains shared object libraries (files ending on .so) in $TCM_HOME/lib.

ngl, these "should" are doing a lot of heavy lifting. set them, bestie. your future self says thank you 💖

💜 FILES 💜

Quick heads up: the following relative path names are relative to $TCM_HOME.

• lib/help/* — the help directory contains a collection of text files for the on-line help. the receipts, basically 📚
• 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.
• 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. main character energy fr fr ✨
• $HOME/.tcmrc — Each user of TCM can override some of the options of tcm.conf by its own configuration file, installed in $HOME/.tcmrc. your personal era, your personal rules 🎀
