A Metafont–eps Interface
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper illustrates this statement by presenting a brief description of an interface for METAFONT-to-PostScript, MFTOEPS. The kernel of the package is a METAFONT program (MFTOEPS.MF) which provides necessary definitions for translating the description of graphic objects from METAFONT to PostScript. The PostScript code is written to a log file. It can be extracted from the log file either manually or with the help of additional utilities. There are two programs in the package for performing this task: an AWK program and a TEX program, the latter a bit slower but more universal. The PostScript files (specifically, Encapsulated PostScript files) produced by MFTOEPS are readable by some popular graphics programs, namely, by Adobe Illustrator (Macintosh and PC compatibles), CorelDraw! (PC compatibles), and Fontographer (Macintosh and PC compatibles). In other words, 388 TUGboat, Volume 16 (1995), No. 4

Paradigms: Just a little bit of PostScript
It is all about creating EPS—with graphics— to be merged with (La)TEX scripts. The emphasis is on creating raw PostScript for simple symmetrical pictures. Asides, like incorporating accurate graphs of math functions, typesetting text along curved paths, or tables set sideways, next to reverse video, clipping and tiling have been addressed. A poor man’s mftoeps approach is touched upon: (declara...
متن کاملA short introduction to METAPOST
METAPOST is a program strongly related to Knuth’s orginal METAFONT. It uses nearly the same graphics language and syntax, but instead of bitmap fonts it produces PostScript output. So it can be used to create high quality graphics. In METAPOST, points and paths may be described by a set of linear equations that are solved by the program. Thus, METAPOST becomes unique among other tools like PSTr...
متن کاملMODELING FLEXURAL STRENGTH OF EPS LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE USING REGRESSION, NEURAL NETWORK AND ANFIS
Lightweight concrete (LWC) is a kind of concrete that made of lightweight aggregates or gas bubbles. These aggregates could be natural or artificial, and expanded polystyrene (EPS) lightweight concrete is the most interesting lightweight concrete and has good mechanical properties. Bulk density of this kind of concrete is between 300-2000 kg/m3. In this paper flexural strength of EPS is modeled...
متن کاملElectronic phase separation at the LaAlO₃/SrTiO₃ interface.
There are many electronic and magnetic properties exhibited by complex oxides. Electronic phase separation (EPS) is one of those, the presence of which can be linked to exotic behaviours, such as colossal magnetoresistance, metal-insulator transition and high-temperature superconductivity. A variety of new and unusual electronic phases at the interfaces between complex oxides, in particular bet...

This third installment of my tour covers three more distributions that are supported via the standard LTEX bug report mechanism described in Part 1. The mfnfss distribution provides LTEX support for some popular Metafont produced fonts, that do not otherwise have any LTEX interface. The psnfss distribution consists of LTEX packages giving access to PostScript fonts. The third distribution in th...
