.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 |

59 |
.IP "" .2i |

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