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
