meta2tga - convert metafile to Targa image format
meta2tga [ -c | -r ][ -x width ][ -y height ][ -m minrad ][
-o outname ] file ..
Meta2tga reads each metafile file in sequence and converts
it to a compressed, color-mapped Targa 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
".tga" 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.
To convert the plots examp1.plt and examp2.plt to 1024x1024
Targa files:
bgraph examp1.plt examp2.plt | meta2tga -o examp -x 1024
-y 1024
