# qgle(1)

A Graphical Interface to GLE

## NAME

qgle — A Graphical Interface to GLE

## SYNOPSIS

**qgle**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the  **qgle** command.

This manual page was written for the **Debian** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it has documentation in the PDF format at  /usr/share/doc/gle-graphics/gle-manual.pdf.

**qgle** is a graphical interface to GLE.  The current GUI contains a preview window that can receive messages from   GLE and display the resulting EPS file.  In addition, it can open GLE   and EPS files directly (using Ghostscript and GLE).  It now has the   capability to add and edit simple objects, such as, lines, circles and   arcs (snapping to a grid if required). It can also change various properties  of the objects, such as, line width, and color. The perpendicular   line and tangential line commands can be used to produce a line starting  perpendicular or tangential to an existing object.  OSnap can be used   for the end point of a line.
