Location on CTAN: macros/plain/contrib/metatex
Summary description: METATeX communicates TeX and METAFONT
License type: gpl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
METATeX is a set of plain TeX and METAFONT macros that you can use to
define both the text and the figures in a single source file. Because
METATeX sets up two way communication, from TeX to METAFONT and back
from METAFONT to TeX, drawing dimensions can be controlled by TeX and
labels can be located by METAFONT. Only standard features of TeX and
METAFONT are used, but two runs of TeX and one of METAFONT are needed.
