meta2bmp

META2BMP(1)						      General Commands Manual						       META2BMP(1)

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
