	      mgpfile

DESCRIPTION
       mgp2ps is a converter from MagicPoint file mgpfile to PostScript	 file.
       If  -f  option  is  specified,  PostScript will be generated to psfile.
       Otherwise, printed to the standard output.

       If there	exists foo.eps corresponding to	foo.gif	(or whatever), the en-
       capsulated PostScript file will be included to the PostScript file  in-
       stead.

       The following options are available:

       -c      Generate	 color	PostScript  file  (experimental).   By default
	       mgp2ps will generate monochrome postscript file.

       -i      Paint inside icon symbols.

       -r      Stack the paper in reverse order.

       -V      Be verbose.

       -p papersize

	       xmargin	and ymargin specifies length of	the margin area	around
	       the edge	of the paper.

       -t      Use truetypefont	instead	of psfont (ASCII font only).
