SYNOPSIS
       shotmapper [-help] [-manpage] [-version] [target=name] [caliber=
       name] [media=name] [filename=name]

DESCRIPTION
       The shotmapper program provides a mechanism to evaluate the 
       accuracy of electronic targets.  It allows the inputting of shot
       coordinates, that are then outputted to an Adobe (C) PDF document.
       The PDF document can then be printed, for the validation.  See 
       TESTING PROCEDURES for further details.

       -target=name
              Use the specified target dimensions to draw the scoring 
              rings.  The options for target dimensions are '300MRifle'
              (300m Rifle), '50m Rifle' (50m Rifle), '10MRifle' (10m 
              Rifle), '25MRFP' (25m Rapid Fire Pistol), '25MPistol' (50m
              and 25m Pistol), '10MPistol' (10m Pistol), '50MRT' (50m 
              Running Target), '10MRT' (10m Running Target).  If target
              dimension is not inputting on the command line, shotmapper
              will prompt for it.
              
       -caliber=name
              Use the specified caliber, to draw the shot holes on the
              target.  The options for caliber are 'AIRGUN' (4.5mm), 
              'SMALLBORE' (5.6mm), 'BIGBORE' (8.0mm), and 'CENTERFIRE'
              (9.65mm).  If caliber is not inputted on the command line,
              shotmapper will prompt for it.
              
       -media=name
              Use the specified media type to output the target display
              to.  The options for media type are 'Letter' (8 1/2 by 11
              in) and 'A4' (210 by 297 mm).  If media type is not
              inputted on the command line, shotmapper will prompt for
              it.
              
       -filename=name
              The name of the output file.  The output file will be in
              Adobe (C) PDF format.  It is recommended that the extension
              of the output file is .pdf.
       
TESTING PROCEDURES
       The following procedure is recommended for evaluating all
       electronic targets.
       
       1. Secure a high quality paper target directly in front of the
       electronic target to be tested.
       
       2. Shoot a five to ten shot string at the target, make sure none
       of the shots touch.
       
       3. Read the x and y coordinates as given by the electronic target.
       
       4. Use shotmapper to input the coordinates from the target.
       
       5. Print the created PDF document.
       
       6. Line the PDF document up with the paper target to verify 
       target's performance.
