tablix2_output - Tablix data export utility

tablix2_output [ -o file ] [ options ] format file

Tablix is a powerful free software kernel for solving general timetabling problems. It uses a coarse-grained parallel genetic algorithm in combination with other techniques to construct sensible timetables from XML formatted problem descriptions. Tablix can run on a single host as well as on a heterogeneous parallel virtual machine using PVM3.

tablix2_output reads a timetable description in a XML format produced by Tablix from file and converts it into a number of human or machine readable file formats. Alternatively, it can also read timetable information from a saved Tablix session.

-o FILE

Write output to file FILE instead of the standard output.

-s OPTIONS

Set export module options. OPTIONS is a comma separated string of option=value pairs. Some options can only be enabled and do not accept a value. You can ommit the =value part with those (specifying the option alone will enable it). Supported options depend on the export format used.

-d LEVEL

Set the verbosity level, where LEVEL is one of the following: (only fatal error messages are shown), (fatal and non-fatal errors), (all errors), (all of the above plus some informational messages) or (all of the above plus debug messages).

-r FILE

Use timetable information from a saved Tablix session in FILE (usually named save?.txt). Timetable with the lowest fitness value in the saved population is exported instead of any result stored in the XML file. If this option is used, the XML file does not need to contain a solution (i.e. the problem description file can be used).

-h

Shows a brief help message.

-v

Shows compile time options and copyright information.

htmlcss

XHTML 1.1 output using CSS stylesheets and UTF-8 encoding for school scheduling.

Use the css option to specify an alternative stylesheet (if no stylesheet is specified, a deafault stylesheet is used).

Use the namedays option (without a value) to enable day names.

csv

General "comma separated values" format in UTF-8 encoding suitable for import into spreadsheet programs and further processing.

None currently known.
