METAPOST

FMETAPOST is a picture-drawing language developed by John Hobby that isJvery much like Knuth's METAFONT, except that it outputs PostScript insteadof bitmaps.

?The TDS specifies that the METAPOST input files and the support8files for METAPOST-related utilities shall be stored in:

0texmf/metapost/package/

@package is the name of a group of related METAPOST files.JAt the moment there aren't any besides those in the standard distribution,9but the TWG thought it wise to leave room for contributed-packages that might be written in the future.

0The following package names are reserved:

base is reserved for the standard macros that come with; METAPOST, such as plain.mp, mfplain.mp,+ boxes.mp, and graph.mp. This includes files used by INIMP when dumping mem files) containing preloaded macro definitions.L
misc is reserved for METAPOST packages consisting of only a single file.F
support is reserved for special files required by the' METAPOST utility programs, including + a font map, a character adjustment table,I and a subdirectory containing low-level METAPOST programs for rendering some special characters.
