.SH DESCRIPTION | 
| 20 | 
  | 
  | 
.I Meta2bmp | 
| 21 | 
  | 
  | 
reads each metafile | 
| 22 | 
  | 
  | 
.I file | 
| 23 | 
  | 
  | 
in sequence and converts it to a compressed, color-mapped BMP file. | 
| 24 | 
  | 
  | 
The result is sent to the standard output (which must be redirected) | 
| 25 | 
  | 
  | 
unless the | 
| 26 | 
  | 
  | 
.I \-o | 
| 27 | 
  | 
  | 
option is used. | 
| 28 | 
  | 
  | 
The argument to the | 
| 29 | 
  | 
  | 
.I \-o | 
| 30 | 
  | 
  | 
option specifies the base file name, to which a page number and ".bmp" is added | 
| 31 | 
  | 
  | 
as a suffix. | 
| 32 | 
  | 
  | 
Note that this option must be present in order to produce more than a single | 
| 33 | 
  | 
  | 
page of output. | 
| 34 | 
  | 
  | 
.PP | 
| 35 | 
  | 
  | 
The default output resolution is 400 by 400, but a different resolution | 
| 36 | 
  | 
  | 
can be given with the | 
| 37 | 
  | 
  | 
.I \-x | 
| 38 | 
  | 
  | 
and | 
| 39 | 
  | 
  | 
.I \-y | 
| 40 | 
  | 
  | 
options. | 
| 41 | 
  | 
  | 
.PP | 
| 42 | 
  | 
  | 
The | 
| 43 | 
  | 
  | 
.I \-m | 
| 44 | 
  | 
  | 
option can be used to set a minimum value for the line radius in pixels. | 
| 45 | 
  | 
  | 
This may be helpful for improving the readability of high resolution output. | 
| 46 | 
  | 
  | 
The default value is 0, which allows lines of one pixel thickness. | 
| 47 | 
  | 
  | 
.PP | 
| 48 | 
  | 
  | 
If the option | 
| 49 | 
  | 
  | 
.I \-c | 
| 50 | 
  | 
  | 
is specified, the input files are only conditioned for output, ie. | 
| 51 | 
  | 
  | 
expanded (see pexpand). | 
| 52 | 
  | 
  | 
This is useful if many copies of the same output is desired. | 
| 53 | 
  | 
  | 
If the option | 
| 54 | 
  | 
  | 
.I \-r | 
| 55 | 
  | 
  | 
is instead specified, the input is assumed already to be conditioned. | 
| 56 | 
  | 
  | 
If no input files are specified, the standard input is read. | 
| 57 |
