todologo(1) - Linux man page

Name

todologo - Create operator logo that contains 3 lines of text

Synopsis

todologo <text of line> - <text of line 2> - <text of line 3>

Description

The todologo program is used to create three lines of text that fits to the standard Nokia operator logo space (i.e. 72x14 pixel space). This is achieved by using a proportional tiny font which most elements have size of 3x4 pixels (some are thinner).

The name comes from an original intention that this program is used to create todo entries to one's mobile phone screen so that those are always visible and thus in user's memory. But the tool can just be used to print arbitrary text to the space provided by an operator logo.

The hand-crafted font currently supports the following characters: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

and 0123456789

Output

The standard '.nol' formatted operator logo is printed to standard output. The header information of that output is taken from gnokii.nol that is distributed with GNOKII -- so you most probably need to give your operator code when uploading it to your mobile phone. Use gnokii or xgnokii to do the uploading.

Examples

First example writes some todo entries to todo.nol:

todologo pick up kids - call wife - order chinese >todo.nol

This last example writes some wisdom to the stdout:

todologo Never underestimate - the power of the dark - side of the force
