<!-- Process this file with docbook-to-man to generate an nroff manual
     page: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml > manpage.1'.  You may view
     the manual page with: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml | nroff -man |
     less'.  A typical entry in a Makefile or Makefile.am is:

manpage.1: manpage.sgml
	docbook-to-man $< > $@

    
	The docbook-to-man binary is found in the docbook-to-man package.
	Please remember that if you create the nroff version in one of the
	debian/rules file targets (such as build), you will need to include
	docbook-to-man in your Build-Depends control field.

    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para>This manual page documents briefly the
      <command>&dhpackage;</command> command.
    </para>

    <para>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.
    </para>

    <para><command>&dhpackage;</command> 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.
