A List of the Stand-Alone Tools
The tools that are available as stand-alone programs,
separate from Jim are shown below. Most stand-alone tools
come in two versions:
- A version with a graphical user interface (GUI). These programmes
have names that end in
..Tool. In an MS Windows
installation, the tools are available from the Start menu. See the
linked manual pages for instructions on how to use them.
- A version that is for text processing only. For instructions
on how to use them, run the tool program without any arguments. This will
print out the usage message for the program. For more details about the
meaning of the program arguments and options, see the equivalent
GUI version of the program.
For example, image algebra can be performed in any of three ways:
- By calling up the Algebra tool from within Jim.
- By using the GUI version of Algebra as a stand-alone programme
(
AlgebraTool).
- By using the text-only version of Algebra as a stand-alone
programme (
Algebra).
On Unix systems (including Mac OS X), scripts are provided run run the tools in either
GUI or text-only (batch) mode. On MS Windows systems, you will need to create your own
batch (.bat) files to run the tools in text-only
mode. An example batch file is provided in the Win32 directory
on installation, which contains details about how to create your
own batch files.
Here is a list of stand-alone tools.
The following are text-based programs that have no graphical user
interface GUI equivalent.
