When that file is correctly +processed by MetaPost (or Metafont), and LaTeX or TeX is run again, the +result is a figure in the TeX document at the location of each +environment. + +See install.txt for installation instructions. See mfpguide.pdf for a +short tutorial. See below for a summary of features added since the +previous major release (1.0). See the manual mfpic-doc.pdf for more +detailed instructions and descriptions of features. + +This is mfpic version 1.10 + +LICENSE +------- +All files of the core mfpic distribution (listed below) may be +distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project +Public License, either version 1.3c of this license or (at your option) +any later version.

Read it *before* trying to process any of the example +files. These files constitute the mfpic distribution to which the LPPL +applies. + +The six files marked with "+" below are the only ones essential to using +all the facilities of mfpic. The three files marked with "*" below are +sufficient to generate those essential files. + +All the *.tex files in the doc directory (except the plain TeX file +mfpcard.tex) require the LaTeX style file mfpdoc.sty. The mfpic manual +is mfpic-doc.pdf. A tutorial is available in mfpguide.pdf. + +The directory names given below are subdirectories of graphics/mfpic/ in +your nearest CTAN mirror (go to http://mirror.ctan.org/) + +Source files (in source/): +------------ +*mfpic.dtx Contains mfpic.sty and mfpic.tex +*grafbase.dtx Contains grafbase.mf, grafbase.mp and dvipsnam.mp +*mfpic.ins The unpacking script: run tex or latex on it.
