gmSnellen - Tool to emulate a Snellen chart onscreen

<gmPlugin> [--debug|quiet] [--talkback] [--text-domain=TEXTDOMAIN] [--log-file=FILE] [--help] [-h|?]

This is a wrapper script to call single GnuMed modules. Please not that the wrapper script uses the options --debug and --log-file=~/.gnumed/ by default.

gmPlugin

This tool is part of the GnuMed suite but can be used separately.

gmBMIWidgets

It calculates the Body Mass Index and can compute ideal weights and required weight loss.

gmDrugDisplay

Display drug information.

gmShowMedDocs

It is a no-frills document display handler for the GNUmed medical document database.

It knows nothing about the documents itself. All it does is to let the user select a page to display and tries to hand it over to an appropriate viewer.

For that it relies on proper mime type handling at the OS level. gmPregCalc

Help a practitioner to calculate duration of a human pregnancy. This program defines human pregnancy as 24192000 seconds. It includes support for ultrasound dates, and calculates the date of 18-week ultrasound. gmSnellen

It emulates a Snellen chart onscreen. The user must first enter the physical screen size, the desired alphabet (Latin, Russian, Greek, Symbol and Four E [the letter E in one of four orientations, for illiterate patients]) and whether the patient will be using a mirror (which inverts the characters).

The program begins with a row of size 6 characters (the smallest a healthy eye can see at a distance of six metres, hence 6/6 vision.) A left mouse click increases the characters, right mouse decreases it. The maximum size is 60, those unable to read this size are legally blind. Double-click ends the program.

--quiet

Be extra quiet and show only _real_ errors in the log.

--debug

Be extra verbose and report nearly everything that's going on. Useful for, well, debugging :-)

--talkback

Run the client and upon exiting run a talkback client where you can enter a comment and send the log off to the bug hunters. Very useful when used in conjunction with --debug.

--text-domain=TEXTDOMAIN

Set this to change the name of the language file to be loaded. Note, this does not change the directory the file is searched in, only the name of the file where messages are loaded from. The standard textdomain is, of course, "gnumed.mo". You need only specify the base name of the file without the .mo extension.

--log-file=FILE

Use this to change the name of the log file. The default log file would be <~/.gnumed/gnumed.log>.

--slave=COOKIE

Start in slave mode for being controlled by other applications. This will start an XML-RPC server listening for script commands.

--port=PORT

Which port to listen on if running in slave mode.

--help, -h, or -?

Well, show this help.

GNUMED_DIR

If GNUMED_DIR is set it will be included in the list of pathes to be searched for for various components of GnuMed.

LANG, LC_MESSAGES, etc.

See gettext(1) for how the various locale related environment variables work.

/usr/share/gnumed/

Nearly all files live below this directory.

~/.gnumed/gnumed.log

The default log file.

~/.gnumed/gnumed.conf

The default configuration file.

plugins.conf

Defines which plugins to load in which order. Lives in any of the plugin directories.

A lot of functionality is still missing. However, to make up for that, we deliver a plethora of bugs for your amusement :-)

The BMI and pregnancy tools should have a race selector, they are currently hardwired with Caucasian values.

This is NOT PRODUCTION QUALITY software yet. Use at your own risk. You have been warned.
