| 19 |  |  | .SH DESCRIPTION | 
| 20 |  |  | .I Meta2tga | 
| 21 |  |  | reads each metafile | 
| 22 |  |  | .I file | 
| 23 |  |  | in sequence and converts it to a compressed, color-mapped Targa 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 ".tga" 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 |  |  | .SH EXAMPLE | 
| 58 |  |  | To convert the plots examp1.plt and examp2.plt to 1024x1024 Targa files: | 
| 59 |  |  | .IP "" .2i | 
| 60 |  |  | bgraph examp1.plt examp2.plt | meta2tga -o examp -x 1024 -y 1024 |
