NAME

       regina-gui - Regina's graphical user interface

SYNOPSIS

       regina-gui [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Regina is a software package for studying 3-manifold triangulations and normal surfaces.  Other key features include angle structures, cen-
       sus enumeration, combinatorial recognition of triangulations, and high-level tasks such as 3-sphere recognition and connected sum  decompo-
       sition.	Regina comes with a full graphical user interface, and also offers Python bindings and a low-level C++ programming interface.

       This  starts  the  full	graphical  user  interface, and is the usual way of starting Regina.  Any files passed on the command-line will be
       opened on startup.

MACOS X USERS

       If you downloaded a drag-and-drop app bundle, this is the program that runs when you open it.   The  executable	itself	is  simply  called
       Regina, not regina-gui.

SEE ALSO

       regina-python.

       Regina  comes  with a rich users' handbook, which you can access via Help->Regina Handbook in the menu.	You can also read the users' hand-
       book online at http://regina.sourceforge.net/docs/.

REGCONVERT(1)							The Regina Handbook						     REGCONVERT(1)

NAME

       regconvert - Convert between different Regina file formats

SYNOPSIS

       regconvert [ -x | -u | -b ] old-file [ new-file ]

DESCRIPTION

       Between	Regina versions 2.4 and 3.0, the data files changed from using an impenetrable and undocumented binary format to using (optionally
       compressed) XML.

       This utility converts back and forth between these different file formats.

       The argument old-file should be the file to read and convert; the argument new-file should be the name of the new converted file to  write.
       These two filenames may be the same, in which case the old file will be replaced with the new.

       If  the	argument  new-file is missing then the new file will be written to standard output, which forces the output to be uncompressed XML
       (see option -u).

	      Warning: When writing an old-style binary file, some information might be lost.  Old-style binary files can only	store  information
	      that was understood by the old version Regina 2.4.

OPTIONS

       -x (default)
	      Convert to compressed XML.

       -u     Convert to plain (uncompressed) XML.

       -b     Convert to the old-style binary format.

MACOS X USERS

       If  you	downloaded  a drag-and-drop app bundle, this utility is shipped inside it.  If you dragged Regina to the main Applications folder,
       you can run it as /Applications/Regina.app/Contents/MacOS/regconvert.

WINDOWS USERS

       The command-line utilities  are	installed  beneath  the  Program  Files  directory;  on  some  machines  this  directory  is  called  Pro-
       gram Files (x86).  You can start this utility by running c:Program FilesReginaRegina 4.93in
egconvert.exe.
