MET Files
a Metafile Format for the DISLIN Graphics Package
MET is a data directory which
contains examples of files in the MET format,
a metafile format for the DISLIN graphics package.
Graphics images created by DISLIN can be stored symbolically in a
MET file. DISLIN can retrieve this data, and display it to the screen,
or convert it to any of a number of standard graphics file formats.
Users desiring a specific graphics file format from DISLIN call the
function metafl(). One of the input options to this function is
"GKSL", which creates a GKSLIN metafile. If metafl() is not called,
the default format is apparently GKSLIN, so I am presuming that this format
is what is meant when DISLIN refers to its metafile format, although DISLIN
also makes available a DISLIN "IMAG" format as well.
