Mlpost is pleased to use Cairo

[François Bobot]

Hi,

  Mlpost is an Objective Caml interface to Metapost. So it allows to
create pictures with LaTeX snippets in it. Since version 0.7 Mlpost has
a new backend which use Cairo for the drawing. We use the binding
cairo-ocaml. Thanks to Cairo, Mlpost can produce ps,pdf,png,svg...
directly now, and Mlpost pictures can be used in gtk+ window.

Thank you for this great library and that great number of backends.

Examples can be found at http://mlpost.lri.fr/examples/. They are
produced by the Metapost backend but they can be produced with the same
result with the Cairo backend.

Hi François,

I'm very glad that you've found cairo useful!

I used Metapost for all the diagrams I did for my M.S. thesis several
years ago, so it makes me feel good to know that code I'm using now is
being used to improve Metapost implementations or related software.

Have fun, and thanks for sharing.

-Carl
