NAME

       mgl2png - Execute MathGL scripts to generate Portable Network Graphics (PNG) output

SYNOPSIS

       mgl2png < scriptfile > [outputname] [parameters]

DESCRIPTION

       mgl2png	converts  mathgl  scripts  into scalable vector graphics (PNG) files, to produce plots of specified functions or data. When called
       with only the script file name, the program will create an output PNG file in the same directory as the input script, with  a  .png  exten-
       sion. Any file entitled "scriptfile.png" (where scriptfile  is the name of the script being executed will be overwritten.

OPTIONS

       -L     Set the locale

       -N     Sets  the  nth parameter, such that -0 is the zeroth parameter. This is supported up to -9. Parameters are passed to the mgl script,
	      and can be used to influence execution.

NAME

       png - Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format

DESCRIPTION

       PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is an extensible file format for the lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images. PNG pro-
       vides a patent-free replacement for GIF and can also replace many common uses of TIFF. Indexed-color, grayscale, and truecolor  images  are
       supported, plus an optional alpha channel. Sample depths range from 1 to 16 bits.

       PNG  is designed to work well in online viewing applications, such as the World Wide Web, so it is fully streamable with a progressive dis-
       play option. PNG is robust, providing both full file integrity checking and fast, simple detection of common transmission errors. Also, PNG
       can store gamma and chromaticity data for improved color matching on heterogeneous platforms.
