👑 TUCD(1) — it's giving "draw me a use-case diagram, bestie" 💅

okay so this is the manual page for tucd, from the General Commands Manual section of your local man collection. buckle up, we're learning UML use-case diagrams the fun way 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

tucd — Tool for UML Use-case Diagrams 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

tucd [options] [document]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

tucd is an X11/Motif based graphical editor for drawing UML use-case diagrams. no cap, that's the whole job 💅

Documents can be loaded from and stored to a file. it can also print documents to a PostScript printer, or save them as PostScript to a file. versatile queen behavior 👑

tucd is part of The Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling (TCM). so it's got siblings, iykyk 🌈

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

You can call tucd with a single document name as argument.

• if this argument is an existing file, then tucd tries to load a document from it 🫶
• if it does not exist, a new document is created with the argument as document name ✨

tucd files should have suffix *.ucd. that's the vibe check for file extensions, don't fight it 💀

Without a document argument, tucd creates a new empty use-case diagram with the name untitled.ucd. a fresh start, a blank canvas, main character energy 🌸

In addition to the standard X11 toolkit options (see X11(7)), tucd accepts the options listed below 👇

• -drawing widthxheight — Create a drawing area of width pixels wide and height pixels high. dimensions, but make it fashion 📐
• -help — Write all available options to standard output and quit. your cheat sheet, served fresh 🎀
• -maxdrawing widthxheight — The drawing area can not be larger than width pixels wide and height pixels high. a ceiling, literally 🚫
• -priv_cmap — Start the editor with a private colormap. fancy palette, just for you 🎨
• -projdir directory — Set the project directory (current working directory) to directory. moving day 🏠
• -toPS [file.ps] — Generate PostScript (to file.ps or stdout when no file name was given) and quit. 🖨️
• -toEPS [file.eps] — Generate EPS (to file.eps or stdout when no file name was given) and quit. ✨
• -toFig [file.fig] [-latex] — Generate Fig format (to file.fig or stdout when no file name was given and quit. When the -latex option is given, LaTeX fonts are generated, otherwise normal PostScript fonts are generated. The Fig format can be read by xfig(1) and fig2dev(1). 🎯
• -toPNG file.png — Generate PNG format to file.png and quit. pixels, bestie 🖼️
• -toPS [file.ps] — Generate PostScript (to file.ps or stdout when no file name was given) and quit. 🖨️

not me noticing -toPS is listed twice up there. i don't make the rules, i just respect them fr fr 💖

• bin/tucd — the use-case diagram editor. that's her 🫶
• bin/psf — a program to filter PostScript output. 🌀
• lib/banner.ps — PostScript banner page that can be used when the printer does not print a banner page. 🎀
• lib/help/* — The help directory contains a collection of text files for the on-line help. 📖
• 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. 🎨
• /tmp/tcmXXXXXX — Pseudo random temporary file, for PostScript output. 💀
• 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. ⚙️
