It depicts an +accurate simulation of the night sky, including stars, constellations, +star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, all planets, the Sun, the Moon, +comets and asteroids. You can see the sky as it appears from any +location on Earth, on any date. +.PP +The user interface is highly intuitive and flexible. The display can +be panned and zoomed with the mouse, and you can easily identify +objects and track their motion across the sky. KStars includes many +powerful features, yet the interface is clean and simple and fun to use. +.PP +Normally KStars launches a full graphical user interface. By passing the +\fB\-\-dump\fP option, you can make KStars dump an image of the sky to +a graphics file and exit immediately without launching a graphical user +interface at all. Several other options are available to control +precisely how this image is dumped. +.PP +This application is part of the official KDE edutainment module. +.SH OPTIONS +Below are the kstars-specific options. +For a full summary of options, run \fIkstars \-\-help\fP. +.PP +Options that can be used when starting the full graphical user interface +are as follows. +.TP +\fB\-\-date\fP \fIdate-and-time\fP +Starts with the simulation clock set to the given date and time (default is +current date and time). +.TP +\fB\-\-paused\fP +Starts with the simulation clock paused. +.PP +Options that can be used when dumping an image of the sky are as +follows. +.TP +\fB\-\-dump\fP +Dumps the sky image to a graphics file and exits immediately. +Several other options (described below) are available to control +precisely how the image is dumped. +.TP +\fB\-\-date\fP \fIdate-and-time\fP +Specifies the date and time for the sky image to dump (default is +current date and time). +.TP +\fB\-\-filename\fP \fIimage-file\fP +Dumps the sky image to the given file (default is \fIkstars.png\fP). +.TP +\fB\-\-height\fP \fIpixels\fP +Specifies the height of the sky image to dump (default is 480). +.TP +\fB\-\-script\fP \fIscript-file\fP +Specifies a DCOP script to run before the sky image is dumped. +The script can be used to set where the image is pointing, set the +geographic location, set the time and date, change the zoom level, and +adjust other view options. +.br +KStars includes a script builder (found in the Tools menu) to help +with writing DCOP scripts. The full user documentation (discussed +below) contains a more detailed explanation of how such scripts can +be written and used. +.TP +\fB\-\-width\fP \fIpixels\fP +Specifies the width of the sky image to dump (default is 640). +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR indiserver (1). +.PP +Full user documentation is available through the KDE Help Centre. +You can also enter the URL +\fIhelp:/kstars/\fP +directly into konqueror or you can run +`\fIkhelpcenter help:/kstars/\fP' +from the command-line. +.PP +If the KDE Help Centre is not installed then you can install the package +\fIkdeedu-doc-html\fP and read this documentation in HTML format from +\fI/opt/kde3/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kstars/\fP. +.SH AUTHOR +KStars was written by Jason Harris <jharris@30doradus.org>, +Heiko Evermann <heiko@evermann.de>, Thomas Kabelmann <tk78@gmx.de>, +Pablo de Vicente <pvicentea@wanadoo.es>, Jasem Mutlaq <mutlaqja@ikarustech.com>, +Carsten Niehaus <cniehaus@gmx.de>, Mark Hollomon <mhh@mindspring.com>, +Vincent Jagot <vincent.jagot@free.fr> and +Martin Piskernig <martin.piskernig@stuwo.at>. +.br +This manual page was prepared by Ben Burton <bab@debian.org> +for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). |
