SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       makempy  takes  MetaPost  output  files  (*.mpo) and translates them to
15       *.mpy files. In order to include text as a graphic into a file  typeset
16       with  (Con)TeX(t),  you  extract  the text from Postscript of PDF files
17       using pdftops(1) and pstoedit(1), creating a Metapost input file.
18
19       This file can then be processed by makempy. The makempy script does its
20       work  without  user  intervention.  When  it  deduces that there are no
21       changes, it does not do anything; otherwise it reports  its  steps  and
22       any errors.
