% File: README
% A part of mfpic 1.10 2012/11/13
%
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 installation instructions. See mfpguide.pdf for a
short tutorial. See below for a summary of features added since the
previous major release (1.0). See the manual mfpic-doc.pdf for more
detailed instructions and descriptions of features.
This is mfpic version 1.10
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
http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
and version 1.3c or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX version
2008/12/01 or later.
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 files constitute the mfpic distribution to which the LPPL
applies.
The six 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.
All the *.tex files in the doc directory (except the plain TeX file
mfpcard.tex) require the LaTeX style file mfpdoc.sty. The mfpic manual
is mfpic-doc.pdf. A tutorial is available in mfpguide.pdf.
The directory names given below are subdirectories of graphics/mfpic/ in
your nearest CTAN mirror (go to http://mirror.ctan.org/)
Source files (in source/):
------------
*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 six
required run-time files (marked "+" below)
TeX/LaTeX code (in tex/):
--------------
+mfpic.tex Basic TeX/LaTeX code
+mfpic.sty LaTeX2e wrapper for mfpic.tex
+mfpicdef.tex Input file used by metapost for TeX labels
MetaPost/Metafont code (in metapost/ and metafont/):
----------------------
+grafbase.mp MetaPost macros supporting mfpic
+dvipsnam.mp Color definitions for MetaPost, needed by grafbase.mp
+grafbase.mf Metafont macos supporting mfpic
Documentation (in doc/):
-------------
changes.txt Summary of 20+ years of changes
install.txt Basic information on installation
README This file.
mfpguide.pdf Tutorial (usletter paper size)
mfpic-doc.pdf Manual (usletter paper size)
mfpcard.pdf Reference card (two sides of usletter, landscape).
mfpdoc.sty LaTeX style used by the next two
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.
coil.mps Figure included in mfpic-doc.tex
mfpcard.tex reference card source, should fit on two sides of
either USletter or A4, rotated. Plain TeX.
lcheaders.ist makeindex style file for mfpic-doc.tex
Examples (in doc/examples/):
--------
pictures.tex Example pictures. Produces pics.mp. Plain TeX
lapictures.tex Same examples. Produces same pics.mp. LaTeX
data.dat Sample data file used by above two
forfun.tex Examples of \mfsrc. Produces fun.mp. Plain TeX
This distribution, any new updates, and some past versions, should also be
available at my web site:
http://comp.uark.edu/~luecking/tex/mfpic.html
