MPTOPDF(1)							      ConTeXt								MPTOPDF(1)

NAME

       mptopdf - convert MetaPost to PDF

SYNOPSIS

       mptopdf FILE [ ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       mptopdf	can  convert MetaPost-generated EPS files to PDF, or it can process a MetaPost source file directly (see mpost(1)) and convert the
       generated EPS files to PDF.

OPTIONS

       All switches are specified in full here but can be abbreviated to the shortest unique prefix.   Thus, --metaf works the same as --metafun.

       --help Print a terse help message.

       --metafun
	      Use the metafun pre-compiled format to process the MetaPost source file.	You usually don't need this option, since metafun input is
	      usually produced and processed as part of a texexec(1) run.  Needs the --rawmp switch to take effect.

       --rawmp
	      Process  the  source file with mpost(1) directly, rather than with texexec(1).  This option is needed if you want to specify --meta-
	      fun.

       --latex
	      Typeseting labels using latex(1) rather than plain tex(1).

USAGE

       To convert manfig.20 to manfig-20.pdf:
	  mptopdf manfig.20

       You can convert more than one EPS file at once:
	  mptopdf manfig.20 otherfig.17 finalfig.8

       Or you can give mptopdf(1) a pattern that it will expand:
	  mptopdf 'manfig.*'
       Note the single quotes to protect the * from the shell.	Of course, usually you can let the shell do the wildcard expansion  and  therefore
       leave off the quotes.

       To convert figs.mp to figs-1.pdf, figs-2.pdf, ...
	  mptopdf figs.mp

       If the labels are typeset with latex(1):
	  mptopdf --latex figs.mp
