Radiance meta2tga program

META2TGA(1)                                                        META2TGA(1)

NAME

       meta2tga - convert metafile to Targa image format

SYNOPSIS

       meta2tga  [ -c | -r ][ -x width ][ -y height ][ -m minrad ][ -o outname
       ] file ..

DESCRIPTION

       Meta2tga reads each metafile file in sequence and converts it to a com-
       pressed,  color-mapped  Targa file.  The result is sent to the standard
       output (which must be redirected) unless the -o option  is  used.   The
       argument to the -o option specifies the base file name, to which a page
       number and ".tga" is added as a suffix.  Note that this option must  be
       present in order to produce more than a single page of output.

       The default output resolution is 400 by 400, but a different resolution
       can be given with the -x and -y options.

       The -m option can be used to set a minimum value for the line radius in
       pixels.  This may be helpful for improving the readability of high res-
       olution output.  The default value is 0,  which  allows  lines  of  one
       pixel thickness.

       If the option -c is specified, the input files are only conditioned for
       output, ie.  expanded (see pexpand).  This is useful if many copies  of
       the same output is desired.  If the option -r is instead specified, the
       input is assumed already to be conditioned.   If  no  input  files  are
       specified, the standard input is read.

EXAMPLE

       To  convert  the  plots  examp1.plt  and  examp2.plt to 1024x1024 Targa
       files:

         bgraph examp1.plt examp2.plt | meta2tga -o examp -x 1024 -y 1024
