SYNOPSIS

xldlas [-h] [-help] [--help] [-v] [-version] [--version] [-display displayname] [-private] [-shared] [-stdcmap] [-double] [-log logfilename] [-tlog texlogfilename] [-hlog htmllogfilename] [-icol importfilename] [-irow importfilename] [datafile]

DESCRIPTION

xldlas is a basic statistical package that runs under the X Window System and is built around the XForms library. Details of use are available from within the program (see the Help menu). Command line options are summarized below.

OPTIONS

All options are just that (ie. optional).

-h, -help, --help

Make xldlas display help on usage via the command line instead of starting up normally.

-v, -version, --version

Make xldlas display version information via the command line instead of starting up normally.

-display displayname

Make xldlas open its displays on the X display specified by displayname. The default is 0:0.

-private

Force xldlas to use a private colourmap. This option would almost never be used, since the default behaviour is to use a private colour map if there are not enough colours available.

-shared

Force xldlas to share colours. This option is useful if you are running on a display with limited colours and want to prevent "flashing".

-stdcmp

Tell xldlas you want it to use a standard colourmap.

-double

This sets double-buffering on all graphic elements, resulting in smoother (but slower) updating.

-log logfilename

Ask xldlas to open a regular (ASCII) log file upon startup with the name specified by logfilename.

-tlog texlogfilename

Ask xldlas to open a TeX format log file upon startup with the name specified by texlogfilename.

-hlog htmllogfilename

Ask xldlas to open an HTML format log file upon startup with the name specified by htmllogfilename.

-icol importfilename

Ask xldlas to import column-format ascii data upon startup from the file specified by htmllogfilename.

-irow importfilename

Ask xldlas to import row-format ascii data upon startup from the file specified by htmllogfilename.

datafile

Upon startup, load the dataset stored in a .lda format datafile specified by datafile into xldlas.

It's a sort of acronym, but I'm not going to tell you what it stands for.
