la­texMP – In­ter­face for LaTeX-based type­set­ting in Meta­Post

The Meta­Post pack­age la­texMP im­ple­ments a user-friendly in­ter­face to ac­cess LaTeX-based type­set­ting ca­pa­bil­i­ties in Meta­Post. The text to be type­set is given as string. This al­lows even dy­namic text el­e­ments, for ex­am­ple coun­ters, to be used in la­bels. Com­pared to other im­ple­men­ta­tions it is much more flex­i­ble, since it can be used as di­rect re­place­ment for btex..etex, and much faster, com­pared for ex­am­ple to the so­lu­tion pro­vided by tex.mp
