## NAME

**xldlas** -- A Program for Statistics

## SYNOPSIS

**xldlas** \[-h\] \[-help\] \[--help\] \[-v\] \[-version\] \[--version\] \[-display *displayname*\] \[-private\] \[-shared\] \[-stdcmap\] \[-double\] \[-log *logfilename*\] \[-tlog *texlogfilename*\] \[-hlog *htmllogfilename*\] \[-icol *importfilename*\] \[-irow *importfilename*\] \[*datafile*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**xldlas** is a basic statistical package that runs under the X Window System and is built around the XForms library. Details of use are available from within the program (see the Help menu). Command line options are summarized below.

## OPTIONS

All options are just that (ie. optional).

- **-h**, **-help**, **--help**

  Make **xldlas** display help on usage via the command line instead of starting up normally.

- **-v**, **-version**, **--version**

  Make **xldlas** display version information via the command line instead of starting up normally.

- **-display** *displayname*

  Make **xldlas** open its displays on the X display specified by *displayname*. The default is 0:0.

- **-private**

  Force **xldlas** to use a private colourmap. This option would almost never be used, since the default behaviour is to use a private colour map if there are not enough colours available.

- **-shared**

  Force **xldlas** to share colours. This option is useful if you are running  on a display with limited colours and want to prevent "flashing".

- **-stdcmp**

  Tell **xldlas** you want it to use a standard colourmap.

- **-double**

  This sets double-buffering on all graphic elements, resulting in smoother (but slower) updating.

- **-log** *logfilename*

  Ask **xldlas** to open a regular (ASCII) log file upon startup with the name specified by *logfilename*.

- **-tlog** *texlogfilename*

  Ask **xldlas** to open a TeX format log file upon startup with the name specified by *texlogfilename*.

- **-hlog** *htmllogfilename*

  Ask **xldlas** to open an HTML format log file upon startup with the name specified by *htmllogfilename*.

- **-icol** *importfilename*

  Ask **xldlas** to import column-format ascii data upon startup from the file specified by *htmllogfilename*.

- **-irow** *importfilename*

  Ask **xldlas** to import row-format ascii data upon startup from the file specified by *htmllogfilename*.

- *datafile*

  Upon startup, load the dataset stored in a .lda format datafile specified by *datafile* into **xldlas**.
