% File: README
% A part of mfpic 1.06 2011/03/08
%
MFpic defines a command group \mfpic...\endmfpic (optionally in LaTeX,
an environment mfpic) and drawing commands to be used inside this group.
When TeX (or LaTeX) is run on a file containing those commands, a
MetaPost (or Metafont) source file is created. 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 initial setup and brief installation instructions.
See mfpguide.pdf for a short tutorial. See below for a summary of
features added since the previous major release (1.00). See the manual
mfpic-doc.pdf for more detailed instructions and descriptions of
features.
This is mfpic version 1.06.
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. The latest version of this license is in
http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
and version 1.3c or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX version

DISCLAIMER
----------
While every effort has been made to make mfpic useful, it comes with no
warranty, expressed or implied.
MANIFEST
--------
Here is a list, plus explanation of purpose, of all files in the mfpic
distribution. Read it *before* trying to process any of the example
files. These, and the files generated by running tex on mfpic.ins,
constitute the mfpic distribution to which the LPPL applies.
The five 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.
The mfpic reference manual is mfpic-doc.pdf. A tutorial is available in
mfpguide.pdf.
Source files:
------------
* 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. It reads
in mfpic.dtx and grafbase.dtx and produces the
required run-time files mfpic.sty, mfpic.tex,
grafbase.mf, grafbase.mp, and dvipsnam.mp
TeX/LaTeX code:
--------------
+ mfpic.tex Basic TeX/LaTeX code
+ mfpic.sty LaTeX2e \usepackage wrapper for mfpic.tex
MetaPost/Metafont code:
----------------------
+ grafbase.mp MetaPost macros supporting mfpic
+ dvipsnam.mp Color definitions for MetaPost, input by grafbase.mp
+ grafbase.mf Metafont macros supporting mfpic
Documentation:
-------------

README This file.
mfpcard.pdf Precompiled reference card (usletter, landscape).
mfpguide.pdf Precompiled tutorial (usletter paper size)
mfpic-doc.pdf Precompiled manual (usletter paper size)
mfpcard.tex plain TeX source for mfpcard.pdf, should fit on two
sides of either USletter or A4, rotated.
mfpguide.tex LaTeX source for mfpguide.pdf, requires mfpdoc.sty and
the mfpic package.
mfpic-doc.tex LaTeX source for mfpic-doc.pdf, requires mfpdoc.sty,
lcheaders.ist amd coil.mps.
mfpdoc.sty LaTeX style used by the above two
lcheaders.ist makeindex style file for mfpic-doc.tex
coil.mps Figure included in mfpic-doc.tex
Examples:
--------
pictures.tex Running tex on it produces pics.mp
lapictures.tex Running latex on it produces same pics.mp
data.dat Sample data file needed for above two
forfun.tex Example of \mfsrc: running tex on it produces fun.mp
This distribution, the latest updates, and some past versions, should also be
available at my web site:
