DESCRIPTION

12       This  manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.  The complete documen‐
13       tation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or  manual
14       Web2C: A TeX implementation.
15
16       If mpxfile is older than mpfile, translate the labels from the MetaPost
17       input file mpfile to low-level commands in  MPXFILE,  by  running  mpto
18       -tex,  tex,  and  dvitomp  by default; or, if -troff is specified, mpto
19       -troff, eqn -d\$\$ | troff -Tpost, and dmp.
20
21       The current directory is used for writing temporary files.  Errors  are
22       left in mpxerr.{tex,log,dvi}.
23
24       If  the file named in $MPTEXPRE (mptexpre.tex by default) exists, it is
25       prepended to the output in tex mode.
26
27       makempx is typically called by mpost, not from the command line.
