MAKEMPX(1)             DragonFly General Commands Manual            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 complete
       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.
