MLPOST(1) General Commands Manual MLPOST(1)
NAME
mlpost - wrapper around OCaml and Metapost for the Mlpost library
SYNOPSIS
mlpost [options] files...
DESCRIPTION
mlpost is a program that compiles OCaml files to PostScript or PDF files using the Mlpost library.
OPTIONS
-pdf Generate .mps files (default)
-mp Generate .mp files
-png Generate .png files
-ps Generate .1 files
-latex <main.tex>
Scan the LaTeX prelude
-eps Generate encapsulated postscript files
-xpdf WYSIWYG mode using xpdf remote server (the name of the remote server is "mlpost")
-v Be a bit more verbose. Otherwise nothing is printed except in case of error.
-ocamlbuild
Use ocamlbuild to compile
-native
Compile to native code
-ccopt <options>
Pass <options> to the Ocaml compiler
-execopt <options>
Pass <options> to the compiled program
-version
Print Mlpost version and exit
-no-magic
Do not parse mlpost options, do not call Metapost.dump
-depend
output dependency lines in a format suitable for the make(1) utility
-contrib <contrib-name>
compile with the specified contrib
-dumpable
output one name of dumpable file by line. So it print all the figures which will be created by the .ml file.
-get-include-compile {cmxa|cma|dir|file}
output the libraries which are needed by the library Mlpost if you want not to use the mlpost tool :
- cmxa print the needed cmxa file (opt version)
- cma print the needed cma file (byte version)
- dir print the directories needed to be include
- file print the file name inside this directory without extension
-compile-name <compile-name>
Keep the compiled version of the .ml file and name it <compile-name>.
-dont-execute
Don't execute the mlfile. So mlpost generates no figures. With this option you can check that a file compile without wasting time to
generate the figures. The options -dont-execute and -compile-name can be used in conjunction to create a program which generates
some figures according to some command line options.
-dont-clean
Don't remove intermediates files. The metapost backend use some intermediates files which are removed without this option.
-cairo Use the cairo backend instead of metapost
-t1disasm
Set the program used to decrypt PostScript Type 1 font, only with cairo (default built-in one). This option will disappear soon.
-help, --help
Display the list of options
