NAME

       meta2bmp - convert metafile to Windows Bitmap (BMP) File

SYNOPSIS

       meta2bmp [ -c | -r ][ -x width ][ -y height ][ -m minrad ][ -o outname ] file ..

DESCRIPTION

       Meta2bmp  reads	each metafile file in sequence and converts it to a compressed, color-mapped BMP file.	The result is sent to the standard
       output (which must be redirected) unless the -o option is used.	The argument to the -o option specifies the base file  name,  to  which  a
       page number and ".bmp" is added as a suffix.  Note that this option must be present in order to produce more than a single page of output.

       The default output resolution is 400 by 400, but a different resolution can be given with the -x and -y options.

       The  -m option can be used to set a minimum value for the line radius in pixels.  This may be helpful for improving the readability of high
       resolution output.  The default value is 0, which allows lines of one pixel thickness.

       If the option -c is specified, the input files are only conditioned for output, ie.  expanded (see pexpand).  This is useful if many copies
       of  the	same output is desired.  If the option -r is instead specified, the input is assumed already to be conditioned.  If no input files
       are specified, the standard input is read.

EXAMPLE

       To convert the plots examp1.plt and examp2.plt to 1024x1024 Targa files:

	 bgraph examp1.plt examp2.plt | meta2bmp -o examp -x 1024 -y 1024

NAME

       ra_bmp - convert RADIANCE picture to/from Windows BMP image

SYNOPSIS

       ra_bmp [ -b ][ -g gamma ][ -e spec ][ -p xr yr xg yg xb yb xw yw ] [ [ input|- [ output ] ]
       ra_bmp -r [ -g gamma ][ -e +/-stops ] [ [ input|- [ output ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       Ra_bmp  converts between RADIANCE and a Windows BMP image.  During forward conversion, the -b option produces 8-bit grayscale output rather
       than 24-bit RGB.  The -g option specifies the exponent used in monitor gamma correction; the default value is 2.2.  The -e option specifies
       a  tone-mapping	method or exposure compensation.  If the argument is one of the special words "auto", "human", or "linear", the image will
       be tone-mapped with histogram adjustment, human vision simulation, or an averaged linear  exposure,  respectively.   (These  words  may	be
       abbreviated  by	one  or  more letters.)  Otherwise, the exposure specification is interpreted as a linear compensation value in integer f-
       stops, which must be proceeded by a '+' or '-'.	The CRT color output primaries may be specified with the -p option.

       The -r option invokes a reverse conversion, from a Windows BMP image to a RADIANCE picture.  Tone-mapping and  monitor  primaries  are  not
       supported for reverse conversion.

       Ra_bmp can accept 16-bit or color-mapped BMP files on input, but cannot not produce them on output.

       A  hyphen  ('-')  may be specified to indicate standard input for either forward or reverse conversion so that an output file may be speci-
       fied.  If the BMP input is taken from the standard input or sent to the standard output without tone-mapping, then  the	scanlines  may	be
       reversed  from  their  usual ordering.  Reversed scanlines sometimes causes difficulties for programs attempting to interpret the resulting
       RADIANCE picture or BMP image, which may be rejected or displayed inverted.
