shortdesc mpost to PDF, native MetaPost graphics inclusion longdesc The mptopdf script does standalone conversion from mpost to longdesc PDF, using the supp-* and syst-* files. They also allow native longdesc MetaPost graphics inclusion in LaTeX (via pdftex.def) and longdesc ConTeXt. They can be used independently of the rest of longdesc ConTeXt, yet are maintained as part of it. So in TeX Live we longdesc pull them out to this separate package for the benefit of LaTeX longdesc users who do not install the rest of ConTeXt. longdesc longdesc This can be found on CTAN in macros/pdftex/graphics. execute AddFormat name=mptopdf engine=pdftex \ options="-translate-file=cp227.tcx mptopdf.tex" runpattern f texmf-dist/tex/context/base/supp-mis.mkii runpattern f texmf-dist/tex/context/base/supp-mpe.mkii runpattern f texmf-dist/tex/context/base/supp-pdf.mkii runpattern f texmf-dist/tex/context/base/syst-tex.mkii runpattern f texmf-dist/scripts/context/perl/mptopdf.pl runpattern f texmf-dist/tex/generic/context/mptopdf/mptopdf.tex # binpattern f bin/${ARCH}/mptopdf # docpattern +f texmf/doc/man/man1/mptopdf.* # more info: # # supp-pdf is the main thing; it needs supp-mis for helper macros. # # supp-mpe is for ConTeXt extensions (i.e., certain MetaPost specials), # according to pdftex.def (it is loaded by # \LoadMetaPostSpecialExtensions). # # mptopdf is for turning MetaPost files into stand-alone PDF. # mptopdf.pl relies on a format created from mptopdf.tex, which in turn # reads all the above *.mkii files.
