This is emp, a package for encapsulated MetaPost pictures in LaTeX.
This is very useful for keeping illustrations in sync with the
text. It also frees the user from inventing descriptive names
for PostScript files that fit into the confines of file system
conventions.
You are invited to share, use, abuse, and improve it, see the file
COPYING for details.
Enjoy,
-Thorsten

NEWS for Version 0.01
* Created.

WARNING:
If LaTeX fails with `Unknown graphics extension: 3', you have a
severely out-of-date graphics.sty file (LaTeX will have issued a
warning in this case). There has been a change to the user
interface, which makes it very hard to support both versions.

emp – "Encapsulate" METAPOST figures in a document
Emp is a package for encapsulating METAPOST figures in LaTeX: the package provides environments where you can place METAPOST commands, and means of using that code as fragments for building up figures to include in your document. So, with emp, the procedure is to run your document with LaTeX, run METAPOST, and then complete running your document in the normal way.
Emp is therefore useful for keeping illustrations in synchrony with the text. It also frees you from inventing descriptive names for PostScript files that fit into the confines of file system conventions.
