PROGRAM:

NAME


mpost - MetaPost, a system for creating graphics

SYNOPSIS


mpost [options] [commands]

mpost --dvitomp dvifile[.dvi] [mpxfile[.mpx]]

DESCRIPTION


MetaPost interprets the MetaPost language and produces PostScript (EPS) or Scalable Vector
Graphics (SVG) pictures. The MetaPost language is similar to Knuth's Metafont with
additional features for including tex(1) or troff(1) commands and accessing features of
PostScript not found in Metafont.

MetaPost is normally used with some preloaded macros, and it will use its executable name
as the name of the preload file to use. For example, when called as mpost the mpost.mp
file is used, which is identical to plain.mp. When the --ini option is given, preloading
does not happen.

The commands given on the command line to the MetaPost program are passed to it as the
first input line. (But it is often easier to type extended arguments as the first input
line, since UNIX shells tend to gobble up or misinterpret MetaPost's favorite symbols,
like semicolons, unless you quote them.) The normal usage is to say mpost figs to process
the file figs.mp. The basename of figs becomes the ``jobname'', and is used in forming
output file names. If no file is named, the jobname becomes mpout. The default
extension, .mp, can be overridden by specifying an extension explicitly.

When the --dvitomp option is given, MetaPost acts as DVI-to-MPX converter only. See
dvitomp (1) for details.

This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation for this
version of MetaPost can be found in the User Manual that should have been installed along
with the program and is also available from http://tug.org/metapost. See the FILES
section below.

The MetaPost language is similar to Metafont, but the manual assumes no knowledge of
Metafont. MetaPost does not have bitmap output commands or Metafont's online display
mechanism.
