-.SH "NAME"
-mptopdf \- convert MetaPost to PDF
-
-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-\fBmptopdf\fP \fIFILE\fP [ ... ]
-
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-
-\fBmptopdf\fP can convert MetaPost-generated EPS files to PDF, or it
-can process a MetaPost source file directly (see
-.BR mpost (1))
-and convert the generated EPS files to PDF.
-
-.SH "OPTIONS"
-All switches are specified in full here but can be abbreviated to the
-shortest unique prefix. Thus, \fB--metaf\fP works the same as
-\fB--metafun\fP.
-.IP \fB--help\fP
-Print a terse help message.
-.IP "\fB--metafun\fP"
-Use the metafun pre-compiled format to process the MetaPost source
-file. You usually don't need this option, since metafun input is
-usually produced and processed as part of a
-.BR texexec (1)
-run. Needs the \fB--rawmp\fP switch to take effect.
-.IP \fB--rawmp\fP
-Process the source file with
-.BR mpost (1)
-directly, rather than with
-.BR texexec (1).
-This option is needed if you want to specify \fB--metafun\fP.
-.IP \fB--latex\fP
-Typeseting labels using
-.BR latex (1)
-rather than plain
-.BR tex (1).
-
-.SH "USAGE"
-
-To convert \fImanfig.20\fP to \fImanfig-20.pdf\fI:
-.EX
-mptopdf manfig.20
-.EE
-
-You can convert more than one EPS file at once:
-.EX
-mptopdf manfig.20 otherfig.17 finalfig.8
-.EE
-
-Or you can give
-.BR mptopdf (1)
-a pattern that it will expand:
-.EX
-mptopdf 'manfig.*'
-.EE
-Note the single quotes to protect the * from the shell. Of course,
-usually you can let the shell do the wildcard expansion and therefore
-leave off the quotes.
-
-To convert
-.I figs.mp
-to \fIfigs-1.pdf\fP, \fIfigs-2.pdf\fP, ...
-.EX
-mptopdf figs.mp
-.EE
-
-If the labels are typeset with
-.BR latex (1):
-.EX
-mptopdf --latex figs.mp
-.EE
