shortdesc "Encapsulate" MetaPost figures in a document.
longdesc Emp is a package for encapsulating MetaPost figures in LaTeX: the
longdesc package provides environments where you can place MetaPost
longdesc commands, and means of using that code as fragments for building
longdesc up figures to include in your document.  So, with emp, the
longdesc procedure is to run your document with LaTeX, run MetaPost, and
longdesc then complete running your document in the normal way. Emp is
longdesc therefore useful for keeping illustrations in synchrony with the
longdesc text. It also frees you from inventing descriptive names for
longdesc PostScript files that fit into the confines of file system
longdesc conventions. [description copied from TeX Catalogue]
