# fd2pascal-2.6.0(1)

Free Pascal forms description to pascal program converter

## NAME

fd2pascal - Free Pascal forms description to pascal program converter

## SYNOPSIS

**fd2pascal \[-compensate\] \[-altformat\] \[-main\] \[-callback\] filename**

## DESCRIPTION

**fd2pascal** reads a XForms designer file ( *.fd* ) and creates pascal code to create the form described in the file. The pascal code is written to a file with the same name as the input file, but with extension  *.pp* if a file with that name already exists, then it will be renamed to a file  with the extension *.bak* appended.

## OPTIONS

fd2pascal has a small number of options to control its behaviour:

- **-altformat**

  By default, a record type is emitted for the form definition, with a field for each widget (object) on the form. The alternate form declares a global  variable for the form and each widget on the form.

- **-compensate**

  If this option is given then a call to fl\_adjust\_form\_size is emitted after the form is created.

- **-callback**

  If this option is given, then a callback procedure is generated for each  widget on the form.

- **-main**

  By default, a unit is created which can be included in the uses clause of a program. If this option is specified, a program file is emitted instead.
