x11meta

X11META(1)						      General Commands Manual							X11META(1)

NAME

       x11meta - output metafile graphics to X11

SYNOPSIS

       x11meta [ -c | -r ] file ..

DESCRIPTION

       X11meta	reads  each  metafile file in sequence and sends it to the default X window system.  If the option c is specified, the input files
       are only conditioned for output, ie.  expanded and sorted (see pexpand and psort).  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.

       -c	 Condition the input only.

       -r	 Input is already conditioned, output only.

EXAMPLE

       To plot the chart example.bar:

	 bgraph example.plt | x11meta

FILES

       see pexpand(1) and psort(1)
