 <p><strong>as-gui</strong> - accounting system graphical client</p>

 <h2><a name="version">VERSION</a></h2>
 <p>as-gui 0.7.2 (06-Mar-2003)</p>

 <h2><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h2>
 <p>The <strong>as-gui</strong> application tracks the time a person spends on a number of
 predefined tasks. This is the graphical client to the <strong>Accounting System</strong>
 server (<strong>AS</strong>). Although the two can interact through means of interprocess
 communication mechanisms, <strong>as-gui</strong> is a generic stand-alone tool which can be
 used with no <strong>AS</strong> server.</p>
 <p>When logging to a local file, <strong>as-gui</strong> takes input and waits until receiving
 a save request from the user. Then, the time sheet will save its data entries
 to the associated file name (as shown in the title bar).</p>
 <p>Logging to a remote <strong>AS</strong> server follows a similar input scheme, but at least
 one <strong>AS</strong> server must be specified in the preferences. A simple 'syncronize
 with server' operation does the rest.</p>
 <p>
 </p>
 <hr />
 <h2><a name="x11_options">X11 OPTIONS</a></h2>
 <p>The following <em>X11 options</em> are passed directly to the X11 subsystem, and
 allow for the typical customization of a X11 application.</p>
 <dl>
 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2ddisplay_display"><strong>-display display</strong></a></strong><br />
 </dt>
 <dd>
 Sets the X display (host:server.screen). The default value is $DISPLAY.
 </dd>
 <br>
 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2dgeometry_geometry"><strong>-geometry geometry</strong></a></strong><br />
 </dt>
 <dd>
 Sets the client geometry (width x height + xoffset + yoffset) of the main widget.
 </dd>
 <br>
 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2dfn_font%2c_%2dfont_font"><strong>-fn font</strong>, <strong>-font font</strong></a></strong><br />
 </dt>
 <dd>

 font description.
 </dd>
 <br>
 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2dbg_color%2c_%2dbackground_color"><strong>-bg color</strong>, <strong>-background color</strong></a></strong><br />
 </dt>
 <dd>
 Sets the default background color and an application palette (light and dark
 shades are calculated).
 </dd>
 <br>
 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2dfg_color%2c_%2dforeground_color"><strong>-fg color</strong>, <strong>-foreground color</strong></a></strong><br />
 </dt>
 <dd>
 Sets the default foreground color.
 </dd>
 <br>
 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2dbtn_color%2c_%2dbutton_color"><strong>-btn color</strong>, <strong>-button color</strong></a></strong><br />
 </dt>
 <dd>
 Sets the default button color.
 </dd>
 <br>
 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2dname_name"><strong>-name name</strong></a></strong><br />
 </dt>
 <dd>
 Sets the application name.
 </dd>
 <br>
 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2dtitle_title"><strong>-title title</strong></a></strong><br />
 </dt>
 <dd>
 Sets the application title (caption).
 </dd>
 <br>
 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2dvisual_truecolor"><strong>-visual TrueColor</strong></a></strong><br />

 </dd>
 <br>
 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2dncols_count"><strong>-ncols count</strong></a></strong><br />
 </dt>
 <dd>
 Limits the number of colors allocated in the color cube on an 8-bit display,
 if the application is using the QApplication::ManyColor color specification.
 If count is 216 then a 6x6x6 color cube is used (i.e. 6 levels of red, 6 of
 green, and 6 of blue). For other values, a cube approximately proportional to
 a 2x3x1 cube is used.
 </dd>
 <br>
 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2dcmap"><strong>-cmap</strong></a></strong><br />
 </dt>
 <dd>
 Causes the application to install a private color map on an 8-bit display.
 </dd>
 <br></dl>
 <p>
 </p>
 <hr />
 <h2><a name="qt_options">Qt OPTIONS</a></h2>
 <p>The following <em>Qt options</em> are used when rendering the graphics of the Qt
 widget library. They are not compatible with other X11 or Win32 applications,
 unless they were first linked with the Qt widget library.</p>
 <dl>
 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2dsession_session"><strong>-session session</strong></a></strong><br />
 </dt>
 <dd>
 Restores the application from an earlier session.
 </dd>

 </dt>
 <dd>

 maximum number of widgets existed at the same time.
 </dd>
 <br></dl>
 <p>
 </p>
 <hr />
 <h2><a name="environment">ENVIRONMENT</a></h2>
 <p><code>USER</code> The user name to use when accounting.</p>

 </p>
 <hr />
 <h2><a name="return_values">RETURN VALUES</a></h2>
 <p><code>0</code> The application exited sucessfully.</p>
 <p><code>&gt;0 or &lt;0</code> At least one error ocurred.</p>
 <p>
 </p>
 <hr />
 <h2><a name="examples">EXAMPLES</a></h2>
 <p>Try out some of these examples to customize <strong>as-gui</strong> from the command
 line. Remember that options can be mixed.</p>
 <p>Initially editing the document 'figo.as':
 <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$ as-gui figo.as</p>
 <p>Showing lovely blue shades in most widgets:
 <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$ as-gui -bg lightblue -fg darkblue</p>
 <p>Starting with a title bar that reads 'Yours here':
 <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$ as-gui -title 'Yours here'</p>
 <p>Displaying graphics output on the host borchert:
 <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$ as-gui -display borchert:0.0</p>
 <p>A slim window slightly left of the top right corner:
 <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$ as-gui -geometry 761x347-120+0</p>
 <p>
 </p>

 <h2><a name="files">FILES</a></h2>
 <dl>
 <dt><strong><a name="item_%7e%2f%2eas%2dgui">~/.as-gui</a></strong><br />

 User preferences file.

 </p>
 <hr />
 <h2><a name="bugs">BUGS</a></h2>
 <p>Sometimes a click on a widget (like a toolbar button) is seemingly ignored.</p>
 <p>Consistent row shading is not always maintained. This means that the sharp
 colour difference between one row and the next may not correctly follow the
 chosen sort order. Press 'refresh' to work around this problem.</p>
 <p>The row highlight may be wrong after resorting the entire time sheet. Press
 the arrow keys a few times to find the currently selected row if this happens.</p>
 <p>Double clicking on column separators should automatically expand or shrink
 the corresponding column to the exact size needed. Broken.</p>
 <p>Local reports only take datewise sorting into account. Attention! This is not
 a bug, and local reports are almost always only useful when sorted by date.</p>
