Summary description: Plot-manipulation macros for use in Metapost.
License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
MetaPlot is a set of Metapost macros for manipulating pre-generated plots
(and similar objects), and formatting them for inclusion in a Metapost
figure. The intent is that the plots can be generated by some outside
program, in an abstract manner that does not require making decisions
about on-page sizing and layout, and then they can be imported into MetaPlot
and arranged using the full capabilities of Metapost. Metaplot also
includes a very flexible set of macros for generating plot axes, which
may be useful in other contexts as well.
Presently, MetaPlot is in something of a pre-release beta state; it is
quite functional, but the syntax of the commands are still potentially
in flux. Bug reports and other suggestions would be most welcome!
