MGLCONV(1)

💖 MGLCONV 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the mglconv page from the User Manuals section — yeah it's manual number 1, we been knew 👑

✨ NAME ✨

mglconv — it runs MathGL scripts and makes you actual pictures. no cap, that's the whole gig 🎨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mglconv [parameters] scriptfile

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, mglconv reads MGL scripts out of scriptfile and turns them into plots of whatever functions or data you told it about. it's giving "your math, but make it art" ✨

and the output? you get options, bestie:

• bitmap formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP
• vector formats: EPS, SVG, LaTeX, OFF, STL, OBJ, X3D

also, super cute detail: you can use - as the file name and it'll read your script straight from standard input. main character energy fr fr 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -1 string — sets string as the argument $1 for your script.
• -2 string — sets string as the argument $2 for your script.
• -3 string — sets string as the argument $3 for your script.
• -4 string — sets string as the argument $4 for your script.
• -5 string — sets string as the argument $5 for your script.
• -6 string — sets string as the argument $6 for your script.
• -7 string — sets string as the argument $7 for your script.
• -8 string — sets string as the argument $8 for your script.
• -9 string — sets string as the argument $9 for your script.

...and yes, the list keeps going like that — it's literally -1 all the way through -9, each one feeding a numbered argument to the script. one for every digit, iconic 💀✨

• -A value — adds value into the list of animation parameters.
• -C v1:v2[:dv] — adds values in the range v1:v2 with step dv (default is 1) into the list of animation parameters. the :dv part is optional, so don't stress 🎀
• -L locname — sets the locale to locname.
• -o name — sets the output file name.
• -h — prints the help message. when in doubt, bestie, hit it 🙈
