Options

ecsdes recognizes the following options:

-endecodeConf Endecode Config

-file file

Specifies the name of a circuit file to open. If no file is specified, ecsdes starts with a new circuit.

-mdlMetadata MDL Metadata file

Specifies the full path of an alternate MDL metadata file.

-nnm

Specifies that the ECS Designer should run in NNM mode using NNM Designer licenses.

-resource value

RESOURCES

ecsdesunderstands the following application-specific resources:

bottomShadow

Specifies the bottom shadow color. The default is "gray".

topShadow

Specifies the top shadow color. The default is "darkgray".

EditableTextBackground

Specifies the editable text background color. The default is "white".

NonEditableTextBackground

Specifies the non-editable text background color. The default is "lightgray".

printcmd

Specifies the command to use when printing the canvas. The default print command is "lp". Print output is in postscript format.

printpaper

Specifies the paper size to assume when printing the canvas. The default paper size is A4.

twSchematicSelectionColour

Specifies the color used when drawing the selection border around nodes, connections, and junctions.

ecsdes also understands the following standard X resources:

background

This option specifies the color to use for the background of the window. The default is "lightgray".

display

This option specifies the X server to contact; see X(1).

font

This option specifies the font to be used for displaying text on labels, menus, and buttons.

font2

This option specifies the font to be used for displaying text which is entered or displayed.

foreground

This option specifies the color to use for displaying text. The default is "black".

endecodeConf

This option specifies the configuration file which lists the endecode modules to be loaded.

On systems using X Windows, resources can be specified as a command line option or in the X Windows resource file. For example to set the paper size to Letter, add this line to the resource file:

ecsdes2*printpaper:Letter

On systems using Windows NT, you can specify application-specific resources as command line options. To do this, modify the Windows shortcut used to start the ECS Designer.

RETURN VALUE

ecsdes returns 0 upon normal completion and >0 if an error occurred.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

DISPLAY

On systems using X Windows, DISPLAY must be defined (or specified on the command line).

LPDEST

Controls the destination for print output unless the print command is redefined with the -printcmd option. By default, the print destination is taken from the environment variable LPDEST (if it is set). Otherwise, a default destination (if one exists) for the computer system is used.

LC_TIME

Determines the format and contents of date and time strings.

ECS_MDL_MD

Specifies the metadata to be used by the MDL encoder/decoder. By default it uses $OV_CONF/ecs/md/mdl/mdl.md.

ECS_BER_MD

Specifies the metadata to be used by the BER endecoder. By default it uses $OV_CONF/ecs/md/ber/ecs.md.

EXAMPLES

To start ecsdes with the foreground color set to Blue:

ecsdes -foreground Blue
