✨ td(1) — bestie's guide to textdraw 💖

okay so like. you wanna draw shapes but you're too iconic for a mouse?? say less. this is the manual page for td, and yes i'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

td — a whole program for drawing geometric figures with ASCII art. no cap, that's literally the entire job description and she ate 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

td [file]

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. one optional file and you're off 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

textdraw (which, btw, is what td stands for — ikyk) is an easy to use program where you can draw geometric figures AND text as ASCII art. and then?? you can move them around if you like to. main character energy fr fr 🔥

like, you're not just drawing a little triangle and calling it a day — you get to push your little ASCII creations around the screen until they're exactly where you want them. obsessed.

🌈 Arguments: 🌈

• file — the file you wanna load. lowkey the whole point of this one: it can be used to load a file you made in textdraw earlier, one you'd been working on and saved so you could come back to it later. your lil art project, preserved 🎨✨

and listen — if textdraw gets started without a file argument, a file named new is created in the current directory. so like, no file? congrats, you got a fresh one called new. it's giving starter pack 💀

👑 AUTHOR 👑

this manual page was created newly by Rene Engelhard <rene@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux Distribution, because the original package does not have one. so yeah, she stepped up and wrote it herself. queen behavior, honestly 🫶

💖 so yeah, that's the whole page. short, sweet, and ready for you to start drawing lil ASCII masterpieces.
