22 Pondus is a personal weight manager that keeps track of your body
23 weight and, optionally, the percentage of bodyfat, muscle and water. It
24 aims to be simple to use, lightweight and fast. All data can be plotted
25 to get a quick overview of the history of your weight. A simple weight
26 planner allows to define “target weights” and this plan can be compared
27 with the actual measurements in a plot.
28
29 By default, the user data is stored in ~/.pondus/user_data.xml and is
30 written to this file automatically on exit, so you don’t have to worry
31 about saving the data you entered.
32
33 All functionality is available via the toolbar or via keyboard/mouse
34 shortcuts. The following shortcuts are currently used:
35
36 CTR-a
37 add new dataset
38
39 CTR-d, Delete
40 delete selected dataset
41
42 CTR-e, Return, Double-click
43 edit selected dataset
44
45 CTR-p
46 plot weight vs time
47
48 CTR-q
49 quit pondus
50
51 To improve the workflow, the add dialog is initialized with the current
52 date and the last measured weight. Both date and weight can be
53 incremented/decremented by one day/0.1kg(lbs) by pressing “+” or “-”,
54 respectively. Pressing “Enter” in one of the entry fields is a shortcut
55 for clicking the “OK”-button.
56
57 A simple weight planner allows you to define future “target weights”,
58 i.e. the weight you want to have at some future date. After enabling
59 the weight planner in the preferences, a selector at the bottom of the
60 main window determines whether you are currently editing the weight
61 measurements or the weight plan.
62
63 The CSV im-/export dialogs allow to im-/export weight data from/to
64 other applications. Currently, the only supported format is
65 2008-03-26,81.3 (for example).
