NAME
sketch - An interactive drawing program
SYNOPSIS
sketch [options] filename
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the command line options of the sketch application. This manual page was written for Debian because the original application does not have a manual page. Instead, it has a User and a Developer guide in HTML format; see below.
Sketch is an interactive, object oriented drawing program. This means that the drawing is composed of objects like rectangles, lines or pieces of text. Sketch allows you to manipulate the objects by moving them around, resizing them or changing their color, etc.
This type of program is also called a vector drawing program because it stores the objects internally as coordinates. Apart from Sketch, there are some other (freeware) programs of this type available, such as xfig or tgif.
OPTIONS
The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with optional long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options are included below.

- -g,--geometry=WxH+X+Y

SEE ALSO
A User and a Developer Guide to Sketch in HTML format are available via the Debian Help system.
