NAME

6       makempy  -  Helper script for conversion of (PDF or PostScript) text to
7       Metapost graphics
8

SYNOPSIS

10       makempy filenam
11

DESCRIPTION

13       makempy takes Metapost output files  (*.mpo)  and  translates  them  to
14       *.mpy  files. In order to include text as a graphic into a file typeset
15       with (Con)TeX(t), you extract the text from  Postscript  of  PDF  files
16       using pdftops and pstoedit, creating a Metapost input file.
17
18       This file can then be processed by makempy. The makempy script does its
19       work without user intervention. When  it  deduces  that  there  are  no
20       changes,  it  will  not  run at all, otherwise it will report its steps
21       and/or encountered error.
