+shortdesc Plot-manipulation macros for use in Metapost.
+longdesc MetaPlot is a set of Metapost macros for manipulating pre-
+longdesc generated plots (and similar objects), and formatting them for
+longdesc inclusion in a Metapost figure. The intent is that the plots can
+longdesc be generated by some outside program, in an abstract manner that
+longdesc does not require making decisions about on-page sizing and layout,
+longdesc and then they can be imported into MetaPlot and arranged using the
+longdesc full capabilities of Metapost. Metaplot also includes a very
+longdesc flexible set of macros for generating plot axes, which may be
+longdesc useful in other contexts as well. Presently, MetaPlot is in
+longdesc something of a pre-release beta state; it is quite functional, but
+longdesc the syntax of the commands are still potentially in flux. Bug
+longdesc reports and other suggestions would be most welcome! [description
