# x11meta(1)

output metafile graphics to X11

## 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
