SHAREWARE:
This MetaView are shareware. If you use this programm regulary you must pay
30,- DM (20 $) to me. After this you get the newest version from MetaView

ARexx.
For bank account and my address, please look at the end of file.
The executable are freely distributable, only the keyfile "keyfile.metaview"
are not freely distributable.
To get the newer versions from MetaView, bugfixes etc. please look at
"Aminet:gfx/conv/" or you send me a empty disk and a franked and filled
return envelop.
BUGS:
- Not all WMF-codes are supported, but the most WMF-files should work.
- In this version MetaView can`t display and convert any included BitMaps!!!
- If you find a bug on startup and own Kick 3.1, please install the new
SetPatch 43.5 and try again.
- If you find any other bug please feel free to send me a mail with the
following dates:
- your configuration
- in which cases the bug appears
- if there only appears on some gfx files, then please send me also the
gfx files
I TAKE NO WARRANTLY FOR ANY DAMAGES ON YOUR SYSTEM!
START:
This programm is startable from Workbench or CLI.
For start from Workbench just doubleclick the icon.
For start from CLI just type in the consolewindow 'MetaView'. You can
give some options:
- LOADNAME the gfx-file to view
- SAVENAME the gfx-file to save, for converting, if you have give a
SAVENAME, then the program will not open the window to show
the gfx-file.
- LOAD/K force to load the gfx-file as AMF,WMF,CDR,DR2D,WPG,CLP, if
you dont use this option, the program look for the filetype
alone.
- SAVE/K save the gfx-file as AMF,EPS,CGM,GEM,WW,ILBM,AMF2 or PRT
AMF - AmigaMetaFileFormat
EPS - Encapsulated PostScript
CGM - Computer Graphics Metafile
GEM - GEM Metafile
WW - WordWorth-ARexx-script
ILBM - Interleaved Bitmap
AMF2 - AMF with previewpicture (* not yet *)
PRT - Printer
DR2D - Drawing 2D
HPGL - HP Graphics Language
CLIP - copy to ClipBoard unit 0
if you dont use this option, then you get AMF-files
- WIDTH/K/N for ILBM, CLIP and PRT the WIDTH of output (ILBM - pixels,
PRT - mm)
- HEIGHT/K/N for ILBM, CLIP and PRT the HEIGHT
- XOFF/K/N for PRINTER the x-position in mm
- YOFF/K/N for PRINTER the y-position in mm
- DEPTH/K/N Depth for ILBM, CLIP and PRT output
- ERRORS/S writeout debug informations, make a big decrease of the speed
of fileparsing
- NOPROP/S no preserve picture-aspect
- TRANSPARENT/S no drawing in background and set color 0 as transparent for
ILBM and CLIP output
- NODISPLAY/S MetaView will not open a screen but only create a ARexxPort
for background operations
the default options are:
SAVE = AMF
WIDTH = 640 (ILBM,CLIP) or 50 (PRT)
HEIGHT = 400 (ILBM,CLIP) or 50 (PRT)
XOFF = 0
YOFF = 0
DEPTH = 4
AREXX:
MetaView opens a ARexxPort based on the name "METAVIEW" a point "." and a
number starting at 0. So if you start MetaView once the ARexxPort name are
"METAVIEW.0".

- SAVE save a gfx-file
SAVENAME/A name of gfx-file
AS/K save the gfx-file as AMF,EPS,GEM,CGM,HPGL,DR2D,WW,ILBM
WIDTH/K/N pixel width for ILBM output
HEIGHT/K/N pixel height for ILBM output
DEPTH/K/N depth for ILBM output
- PRINT print a gfx-file
XOFF/K/N left offset in mm
YOFF/K/N right offset in mm
