NAME

     xdesigner - OSF/Motif user	interface builder

SYNOPSIS

     xdesigner [ -csepAKCSEulbarmRMFWXJ	 [  code_file  ]  ]  [	-
     windows ] [ -f filename ] [ -xV ]

DESCRIPTION

     xdesigner is a Graphical User Interface builder  for  X  and
     OSF/Motif.	  If  any of the code generation flags are speci-
     fied, xdesigner will not run  interactively,  and	an  input
     file_name must be specified.

OPTIONS

     -c	       Generate	C code to code_file.  If code_file is not
	       specified, last C file specified	in xdesigner will
	       be used.

     -s	       Generate	C stubs	to code_file.	If  code_file  is
	       not   specified,	 last  stubs  file  specified  in
	       xdesigner will be used.

     -e	       Generate	C externs to code_file.	 If code_file  is
	       not  specified,	last  externs  file  specified in
	       xdesigner will be used.

     -p	       Generate	C pixmaps to code_file.	 If code_file  is
	       not  specified,	last  pixmaps  file  specified in
	       xdesigner will be used.

     -A	       Generate	 ANSI-C.   Force  generated  code  to  be
	       ANSI-C.	Overrides any setting in the design file.

     -K	       Generate	K&R C.	Force generated	code to	be K&R	C
	       Overrides any setting in	the design file.

     -C	       Generate	 C++  source  code  to	 code_file.    If
	       code_file  is  not specified, last C++ file speci-
	       fied in xdesigner will be used.

     -S	       Generate	C++ stubs to code_file.	 If code_file  is
	       not  specified,	last  C++ stubs	file specified in
	       xdesigner will be used.

     -E	       Generate	C++ externs to code_file.   If	code_file
	       is  not specified, last C++ externs file	specified
	       in xdesigner will be used.

     -u	       Generate	UIL code to code_file.	If  code_file  is
	       not   specified,	  last	 UIL  file  specified  in
	       xdesigner will be used.

     -l	       Generate	 C  code  for  UIL  to	 code_file.    If
	       code_file  is  not  specified, last C for UIL file
	       specified in xdesigner will be used.

     -b	       Generate	stubs for  UIL	code  to  code_file.   If
	       code_file  is  not  specified,  last stubs for UIL
	       file specified in xdesigner will	be used.

     -a	       Generate	UIL pixmaps to code_file.   If	code_file
	       is not specified, last pixmaps for UIL file speci-
	       fied in xdesigner will be used.

     -r	       Generate	X defaults to code_file.  If code_file is
	       not  specified,	last X defaults	file specified in
	       xdesigner will be used.

     -m	       Generate	Makefile to code_file.	If  code_file  is
	       not   specified,	  last	 Makefile   specified  in
	       xdesigner will be used.

     -R	       Generate	Microsoft Windows resource file.

     -M	       Generate	Motif flavour C++.

     -F	       Generate	Motif XP flavour C++.

     -W	       Generate	Microsoft Windows MFC (Microsoft  Founda-
	       tion Class) flavour C++.

     -J	       Generate	Java(tm) to the	directory specified.

     -X	       Synonym for -r.

     -L	       Run with	a private colormap. This is useful if you
	       are  running  other applications	which have a high
	       color usage. This option	may cause color	 flashing
	       when moving between windows.

     -windows  Start xdesigner in Microsoft Windows mode.

     -f	file_name
	       Input file. Use -f to avoid confusion with default
	       code_file.

     -x	       Print list of switches.

     -V	       Print the version number	and exit.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

     The behaviour of xdesigner	is  influenced	by  a  number  of
     environment variables specific to xdesigner.

     xdesigner prepends	three important	X  environment	variables
     with  xdesigner-specific  directory  paths.  Whilst  this is
     safe, and protects	from old versions of  files  accidentally
     being  picked  up	from the paths,	it makes it impossible to
     override the xdesigner default  settings  for  X  resources,
     bitmaps  and the like. To counter this, for those users that
     require  an  override  capability,	 three	"extended"   path
     environment variables are understood by xdesigner:

     XD_XFILESEARCHPATH
	  This	 is   prepended	   to	 XFILESEARCHPATH    after
	  $XDROOT/lib/locale/$LANG/app-defaults	is prepended.

     XD_XBMLANGPATH
	  This is prepended to XBMLANGPATH after  $XDROOT/bitmaps
	  is prepended.

     XD_XNLSPATH
	  This is prepended to	XNLSPATH  after	 $XDROOT/nls  (or
	  whatever  alternative	 was  configured  at installation
	  time)	is prepended.

     By	default	xdesigner  utilises  a	set  of	 icons	that  use
     minimal  color  and  render  satisfactorily  on a monochrome
     display.  However,	if you have a  color  display  and  would
     like  to use the full color icons then these can be switched
     on	 by  setting  the  environment	 variable   XD_ICONS   to
     "color_icons"  (the  default  is "bitmaps").  Conversely, if
     you want to see the default set of	built-in monochrome icons
     then set XD_ICONS to "default".

FILES

     $XDROOT - base installation directory
     $XDROOT/bitmaps - standard	bitmaps
     $XDROOT/color_icons - full	color icon bitmaps
     $XDROOT/lib/locale/$LANG/app-defaults - X resource	files
     $XDROOT/bin - executable binary directory (add to PATH)
     $XDROOT/demos - demonstration programs, etc
