+.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 
+
