-.SH NAME
-mpost \- MetaPost, a system for creating graphics
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B mpost
-.RI [ options ]
-.RI [ commands ]
-.PP
-.B mpost
-.B --dvitomp
-.IR dvifile [\fB.dvi\fP]
-.RI [ mpxfile [\fB.mpx\fP]]

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\*(MP interprets the \*(MP language and produces PostScript (EPS)
-or Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) pictures. 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 AUTHORS
-\*(MP was designed by John D. 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.
