CTXTOOLS(1) ConTeXt CTXTOOLS(1) NAME
ctxtools - clean up temporary ConTeXt files, install latest ConTeXt SYNOPSIS
ctxtools [ OPTION ... ] DESCRIPTION
ctxtools is useful for dealing with ConTeXt source and generated files and for installing new versions of ConTeXt. OPTIONS
--help Print the available options. --purgefiles Get rid of many temporary files generated by ConTeXt. You can give the --all option to remove a larger fraction of those files, and the --recurse option to remove these files also in subdirectories. --contextversion Show the date of the ConTeXt macros and the format file. Useful after upgrading ConTeXt (perhaps using --updatecontext) to check whether the new formats and macros are visible to the TeX path searches (see kpsewhich(1). --updatecontext Download the latest ConTeXt distribution and install it in the TEXMFLOCAL tree (see kpsewhich(1) for information on TeX path search- ing). TEXMFLOCAL usually points to a system-wide location. If you want to install the new ConTeXt in your home directory (i.e. an install for one user), then set the TEXMFLOCAL environment variable while running ctxtools. For example, using the syntax of the Bourne shell sh(1): TEXMFLOCAL=$HOME/texmf ctxtools --updatecontext --documentation Generate a .ted file from the source file. See also the --module option to texexec(1). --patternfiles [languagecode] Generate pattern files. You can also give the --all, --xml, and --utf8 options. ENVIRONMENT
TEXMFLOCAL Used by --updatecontext to decide where to install the distribution. SEE ALSO

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 SEE ALSO
