.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 |
