# cgoban(6)

X11 Go Toolset

## NAME

cgoban - X11 Go Toolset

## SYNOPSIS

**cgoban -help**

**cgoban** \[ *\<options\>* \]

## DESCRIPTION

Information on the switches is available with **cgoban** **-help**.

One switch that you may want to use is the **cgoban** **-fontHeight** *size* switch.  This switch changes the size of everything that cgoban draws. The default is 12; running **cgoban -fontHeight 14** will make the board, etc. larger, while **cgoban -fontHeight 10** will make it all smaller.

Any of the command line switches can be set instead with an X default.  For example, if you want to set black and white to be the default mode, you can run complete goban with  **cgoban** **-nocolor**, or you can add  **cgoban\*color: 0** to your X defaults.

Cgoban will store a new **.cgobanrc** file every time you run it.  In this file it will save the current state of cgoban.  This is handy; you don't normally have to set command line switches since cgoban will remember them in the **.cgobanrc** file.  However, it is possible that the **.cgobanrc** file gets some bad data in it.  Just delete the file and then you can start from scratch again.
