- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is version 0.6 beta of mfpic, a package for creating pictures in (La)TeX files via Metafont or MetaPost. The major changes:
1. Now *all* macros that draw a figure and that take a list of points or numbers as their last parameter can take that list from an external file.
2. The options mplabels and truebbox are now independent of one another.
3. With option mplabels, the specification of the location of a \tlabel can be any *list* of MetaPost point expressions, enclosed in braces.
4. New options draft, final and nowrite.
5. The main documentation now includes an index of commands and options.
6. Several bugs from version 0.5 corrected. (Our bugs are all new!)

mfpic – Draw METAFONT/post pictures from (La)TeX commands
Mfpic is a scheme for producing pictures from (La)TeX commands. Commands \mfpic and \endmfpic (in LaTeX, the mfpic environment) enclose a group in which drawing commands may be placed.
The commands generate a Meta-language file, which may be processed by METAPOST (or even METAFONT). The resulting image file will be read back in to the document to place the picture at the point where the original (La)TeX commands appeared. Note that the ability to use METAPOST here means that the package works equally well in LaTeX and pdfLaTeX.
