+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fIleocad \fR [\fIfile\fR] [\fI\-l path\fR] \fIinfile [ -i outfile.ext \fR[\fI-w x\fR]\fI \fR[\fI-h y\fR] ]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+This manual page documents briefly the \fILeoCAD \fRprogram.
+It was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
+because the original program does not have a manual page. The information
+in this manual page came from docs/LINUX.txt in the source archive.
+

+in many toys (but not any particular brand). It supports animation
+as well as exportation to various file formats including POV-Ray.
+
+.SH OPTIONS

+of \fILeoCAD \fRuses /usr/share/leocad/ as the default.
+
+.TP
+.B infile
+Loads the file \fIinfile\fR
+
+.TP
+.B \-i outfile.ext
+Saves a picture to \fIoutfile.ext \fR in the image format specified
+by \fIext\fR and exits. \fIext\fR can be gif, bmp, png or jpg.
+
+.TP
+.B \-w x
+Sets the width of the picture to \fIx\fR.
+
+.TP
+.B \-h y
+Sets the height of the picture to \fIy\fR.
+
+.TP
+.B \-\-libgl library
+Sets the name of the OpenGL dynamic library used by the program to \fIlibrary\fR.

+
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.PP
+ $ leocad car.lcd -i car.png -w 640 -h 480

+This will start LeoCAD, load the file "car.lcd," create a png called
+"car.png" with a resolution of 640x480 and exit when done.
