.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
|
|
|
This manual page documents briefly the \fILeoCAD \fRprogram.
|
|
|
|
|
It was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
|
|
|
|
|
because the original program does not have a manual page. The information
|
|
|
|
|
in this manual page came from docs/LINUX.txt in the source archive.

\fILeoCAD \fR is a CAD program that uses plastic bricks similar to those found
|
|
|
|
|
in many toys (but not any particular brand). It supports animation
|
|
|
|
|
as well as exportation to various file formats including POV-Ray.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
Below is a summary of all of the options that \fILeoCAD\fR
|
|
|
|
|
accepts. Most options have two equivalent names, one of
|
|
|
|
|
which is a single letter preceded by -, and the other of
|
|
|
|
|
which is a long name preceded by --. Brackets ([ and ])
|
|
|
|
|
indicate that an option takes an optional argument.
