DESCRIPTION
Task \fIsgidecode\fR is a debugging tool used to decode SGI metacode
files.  The plotting instructions are decoded and printed in readable
form on the standard output.  The input metacode can be read from one
or more files or redirected from the standard input.

Coordinates are printed in NDC units (0-1) by default.  When \fBgkiunits\fR
= yes, coordinates are printed in gki units (0-32767).  Parameter
\fBverbose\fR is currently not implemented.

EXAMPLES
