wmf2gd(1)

💖 wmf2gd — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about wmf2gd, a little legend from the General Commands Manual section of your local man pages. it converts metafile images into png or jpg, and honestly? it eats. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

wmf2gd — convert metafile image to one of: png, jpg. no cap, that's the whole gig. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

the three whole moods you can run this in, verbatim:

wmf2gd [OPTION] ... [-o <file.png>] <file.wmf>

wmf2gd [OPTION] ... [-t jpeg] [-o <file.jpg>] <file.wmf>

wmf2gd [OPTION] ... --auto <file1.wmf> [<file2.wmf> ...]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Convert metafile image to one of: png, jpg.

that's it. that's the vibe. one metafile in, one gorgeous little image out. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

here's the whole menu, bestie, nothing skipped, nothing hidden:

• -t <type> — tell it what you want, where <type> is one of: png, jpeg.
• --maxwidth=<w> — set a cap, where <w> is the maximum width the image may have. 📏
• --maxheight=<h> — same energy but vertical, where <h> is the maximum height the image may have.
• --maxpect — scale the image to maximum size while keeping the aspect ratio. proportions stay iconic, fr fr.
• --maxsize — scale the image to maximum size. periodt.
• --version — display version info and exit. quick lil flex. 👑
• --help — display this help and exit. your bestie when you're lost. 🫶
• --wmf-help — display wmf-related help and exit. the deeper lore. 🔥

🌈 Additional wmf-related options 🌈

this is the bonus level, and yes we're doing all of them:

• --wmf-error[=yes|no] — switch for error reports. 🚨
• --wmf-debug[=yes|no] — switch for debug reports, if any.
• --wmf-ignore-nonfatal[=yes|no] — switch to ignore (some) non-fatal errors. she's unbothered, moisturized, in her lane. 💅
• --wmf-diagnostics — emit diagnostic information. the receipts, basically. 🧾
• --wmf-fontdir=<path> — add <path> to the list of font directories.
• --wmf-sys-fonts — use system fonts, if any found. 🖋️
• --wmf-sys-fontmap=<file> — use system xml-fontmap file <file>.
• --wmf-xtra-fonts — use non-system fonts, if any found.
• --wmf-xtra-fontmap=<file> — use non-system xml-fontmap file <file>.
• --wmf-gs-fontmap=<file> — use ghostscript file <file>. spooky name, very normal behaviour. 👻
• --wmf-write=<file> — write metafile to <file>.

no guessing games here bestie — every flag above does exactly what it says and nothing more. don't go inventing extra behaviour, that's not the vibe. 🙈
