The \*(MP language is similar -to Knuth's \*(MF with additional features for including -.BR tex (1) -or -.BR troff (1) -commands and accessing features of PostScript not found in \*(MF. -.PP -\*(MP is normally used with some preloaded macros, and it -will use its executable name as the name of the preload -file to use. For example, when called as -.B mpost -the -.I mpost.mp -file is used, which is identical to -.I plain.mp. -When the -.B --ini -option is given, preloading does not happen. -.PP -The -.I commands -given on the command line to the \*(MP program are passed to it as the -first input line. (But it is often easier to type extended arguments -as the first input line, since UNIX shells tend to gobble up or -misinterpret \*(MP's favorite symbols, like semicolons, unless you -quote them.) The normal usage is to say -.I mpost figs -to process the file -.IR figs.mp . -The basename of -.I figs -becomes the ``jobname'', -and is used in forming output file names. If no file is named, the -jobname becomes -.IR mpout . -The default extension, -.IR .mp , -can be overridden by specifying an extension explicitly. -.PP -When the -.B --dvitomp -option is given, \*(MP acts as DVI-to-MPX converter only. -See dvitomp (1) for details. -.PP -This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete -documentation for this version of \*(MP can be found in the -User Manual that should have been installed along with the program and -is also available from http://tug.org/metapost. -See the FILES section below. -.PP -The \*(MP language is similar to \*(MF, but the manual -assumes no knowledge of \*(MF. \*(MP does not have bitmap -output commands or \*(MF's online display mechanism. - -.\"===================================================================== -.SH FILES -.TP -.I plain.mp -The standard preload file. -.TP -.I mfplain.mp -The \*(MF-compatible preload file. -.TP -.I $TEXMFMAIN/metapost/base/*.mp -The standard \*(MP macros included in the original distribution. -.TP -.I $TEXMFMAIN/metapost/support/* -Various tables for handling included -.I tex -and -.IR troff . -.TP -.I $TEXMFMAIN/metapost/support/trfonts.map -Table of corresponding font names for -.I troff -and PostScript. -.TP -.I psfonts.map -Table of corresponding font names for -.I tex -and PostScript. -.TP -.I $TEXMFMAIN/doc/metapost/* -The \*(MP manual and tutorial source, also including sample figures -.\"===================================================================== -.SH "SUGGESTED READING" -Donald E.

Hobby, incorporating algorithms from -\*(MF by Donald E. Knuth. It was originally implemented on Unix, -incorporating system-dependent routines from -.BR web2c , -while not relying on it except for the actual \*(WB-to-C translator. -.PP -Ulrik Vieth adapted \*(MP to take advantage of the advanced path -searching features in more recent versions of -.B web2c -and worked towards fully integrating \*(MP into the canonical Unix -\*(TX distribution. -.PP -The current, CWEB based version of MetaPost is maintained by -Taco Hoekwater. -.PP -The manual and tutorial are maintained by Stephan Hennig and -Troy Henderson. -.\"===================================================================== -.SH BUGS -Email bug reports to metapost@tug.org. |
