MAKEMPX(1) MAKEMPX(1)
NAME
makempx - typeset labels in MetaPost pictures with TeX or
Troff
SYNOPSIS
makempx [--tex|--troff] mpfile mpxfile
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The com-
plete documentation for this version of TeX can be found
in the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation.
If mpxfile is older than mpfile, translate the labels from
the MetaPost input file mpfile to low-level commands in
MPXFILE, by running mpto -tex, tex, and dvitomp by
default; or, if -troff is specified, mpto -troff, eqn
-d\$\$ | troff -Tpost, and dmp.
The current directory is used for writing temporary files.
Errors are left in mpxerr.{tex,log,dvi}.
If the file named in $MPTEXPRE (mptexpre.tex by default)
exists, it is prepended to the output in tex mode.
makempx is typically called by mpost, not from the command
line.
OPTIONS
makempx accepts the following options:
--help Print help message and exit.
--tex Assume input file contains TeX commands.
--troff
Assume input file contains Troff commands.
--version
Print version information and exit.
