NAME

       meta2tga - convert metafile to Targa image format

SYNOPSIS

       meta2tga [ -c | -r ][ -x width ][ -y height ][ -m minrad ][ -o outname ] file ..

DESCRIPTION

       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.

EXAMPLE

       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
