....will disable all extensions and perform exactly like T E X; nevertheless, it would be advisable to adhere to the Grand Wizard s wishes, and change the name. John Hobby presented some very promising work at the Stanford TUG 89 meeting on extensions of METAFONT for generation of POSTSCRIPT output [8], and related work by Shimon Yanai and Daniel Berry should soon appear in TUGboat . We need more such articles Please, if you can contribute new ideas, and I know from personal contacts that many of you can, write them down (or even up) for publication in TUGboat or other journals in the field. ....

....Figure 9: Call by need reduction rules with variable substitution. standard redex is, and what it reduces to. We have used this information to produce the prettier trace in Figure 7. This trace was produced entirely automatically; LetTrace can also create a program in John Hobby s METAPOST [10] language, a declarative language for generating PostScript output. We have also experimented with generating input for xfig. This is not yet complete (we only mark the start of the standard redex, and the start of its reduction) and the result is not so pretty. However, the output is available ....

Introduction to MetaPost - Hobby (1992) (3 citations) (Correct)
....and [YB90] has concentrated on producing PostScript fonts rather than graphics. Unlike these earlier systems, the MetaPost system involves the creation of a new language similar to METAFONT, but specifically designed for producing PostScript graphics. Preliminary comments on MetaPost appeared in [Hob89]. Since MetaPost is based on the public domain METAFONT source code given in [Knu86a] MetaPost has been able to inherit all the features of METAFONT that make it a powerful graphics language: ffl The ability to store and manipulate coordinate pairs, straight and curved paths, coordinate ....

....come from a tiny library of function and data plotting routines[11] These generate files in an equally tiny language that can be trivially converted to PostScript, pic, or whatever other graphics is locally available. For dependency graphs and other such figures, some useful tools are MetaPost[12] and dag[8] PC based drawing programs are also attractive, but do not lend themselves to data assisted creation and updating. One line drawing that deserves wider use is brushing scatterplots[2] This technique for displaying sets of multivariate data points presents a matrix of all pairwise ....

Knuth describes the METAFONT language in The METAFONTbook. 4] This document introduces MetaPost via examples and references to key parts of The METAFONTbook. It ....
