NAME
     fdesign -  Forms Library User Interface Designer

SYNOPSIS
     fdesign [-xformoptions] [-options] [files]

DESCRIPTION
     fdesign is a GUI builder  that  helps  the  construction  of
     graphical  user interface in a WYSIWYG (what you see is what
     you get) way by allowing the  user  to  directly  manipulate
     various  objects,  such  as  buttons, sliders and menus etc.
     Once a satisfactory UI is constructed, the user can save the
     composed  interface  into  an  external file containing some
     program code. When compiled, linked with the Forms  Library,
     and  executed,  the  generated  code  would, at run time (or
     print time for PostScript output), construct the exact  same
     interfaces as those seen within fdesign.

     A variety  of  output  language  is  possible  via  external
     filters.   As of this writing, C, perl, ada95, Fortran, pas-
     cal, and PostScript output filters are known to exist.


OPTIONS
     fdesign accepts all  standard  Forms  Library  command  line
     options as well as the following:

     -help Prints a brief summary of all  command  line  options.
           This  option  does  not  require a connection to the X
           server.

     -version
           Prints the current version of fdesign and exits.

     -geometry geom
           Specifies the prefered size and location of main work-
           ing area in which the UI is to be constructed.

     -convert fdfile-list
           This option prevents fdesign from attempting to make a
           connection  to  the  X server. The file list following
           this flag is converted to C code directly.

     -unit pixel|point|mm|cp|cmm
           selects the unit of measure for object geometries. For
           non-pixel  unit, the interface created is screen reso-
           lution independent  and  may  be  desirable  for  many
           applications.  Note  that  for  typical screens, point
           (about 1/72 inch) and mm may be too coarse and subject
           to  round-off  errors. Use cp (centi-point, 100th of a
           point) and cmm (centi-mm) instead.

     -altformat
           selects an alternative format for the generated C code
           where global variables are used for the UI components.

     -main requests the output of main program template.

     -callback
           requests the output of callback function template.

     -compensate
           requests the emission of font/server resolution varia-
           tion compensation code.

     -I headerfile
           uses an alternative header file instead of the default
           forms.h in the output C code.

     -lax  requests relaxed C syntax checking.

     -ps   This option specifies that instead of emitting  the  c
           code for the user interface, PostScript code should be
           emitted.

     -ada  This option requests ada95 code output

     -perl This option requests perl code output.

     -fortran
           This option requests Fortran code output.

     -pascal
           This option requests pascal code output.

     -nocode
           suppresses the output of UI code. Only the .fd file is
           written.

     The most useful Forms Library command line options are

     -display host:dpy
          This option specifies the X server to connect.

     -flversion
          This option prints the  version  string  of  the  Forms
          Library, with which fdesign was build.

     -name appname
          This option specifies the application name under  which
          resources are to be obtained, instead of the executable
          name.  appname should not contain . or *.  fdesign.


RESOURCES
     The program understands all of the Forms Library's  resource
     names and classes as well as the following

     control.geometry (class Control.Geometry)
             specifies  the  geometry  of  the   control   panel.
             Currently the size is ignored.

     unit (Unit)
             specifies the default unit of  measure.  Default  is
             pixel.


     attributes.geometry (class Attributes.Geometry)
             specifies the  geometry  of  the  object  attributes
             panel. Currently the size is ignored.

     align.geometry (class Align.Geometry)
             specifies the geometry of the  object  align  panel.
             Currently the size is ignored.

     xformsHeader (class XFormsHeader)
             specifies the header filename generated in the  out-
             put C code.  Default is forms.h

     filter (class Filter)
             specifies post-processing filter (an  external  exe-
             cutable name).

     language (class Language)
             specifies target language name.


     Among the standard Forms Library  resources,  the  following
     are most useful

     xform.fontsize (class XFORM.FontSize)
          specifies the font size used for most object labels.

     xform.pupfontsize (class XFORM.PupFontSize)
          specifies the font size used in pop-up menus.

     xform.browserFontSize (class XFORM.BrowserFontSize)
          specifies the font size used  for  the  text  inside  a
          browser.
