Version: 2024/1.6
SUMMARY
This package offers low-level mplib integration for both plain LuaTeX and
LuaLaTeX. It is designed with the purpose of being easy to extend.
The use of multiple simultaneous MetaPost instances is supported, as well as
running TeX or lua code from within MetaPost. With the included minim-mp
format file, you can even use LuaTeX as a stand-alone MetaPost compiler.
DOCUMENTATION
In order to obtain the typeset manual of this package, simply say:
luatex minim-mp.doc
INSTALLATION
In order to use minim-mp as a stand-alone metapost compiler, you will have to
generate the appropriate format files. For metapost with plain tex, say
luatex --ini minim-mp.ini
For metapost with latex, say
luatex --ini minim-lamp.ini
The resulting format (.fmt) files will be found if they are either in the same
directory as your metapost source file, or in ${TEXMFHOME}/web2c/luatex (the
latter is of course recommended).
Useful shell aliases are
alias mpost='luatex --fmt=minim-mp'
alias lampost='luatex --fmt=minim-lamp'
