I'm using it for stand-alone graphics, to be included in a latex file, to be compiled with pdflatex. In short, I have a diagram in mp, and I used to do the following: mpost diagram.mp mptopdf diagram.1 My understanding is that the .1 file generated by mpost is actually an .eps file, but pdflatex doesn't accept it, and that's why I used mptopdf. I do not see any options in either mpost or context that would allow me to do that. How could I use any of these to get a pdf? > Hans > > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE > Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands > tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com > | www.pragma-pod.nl > ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- Ernesto Posse Modelling and Analysis in Software Engineering School of Computing Queen's University - Kingston, Ontario, Canada ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : [email protected] / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
