This release of is rather substantial: no longer is metaposts called, but mplib is used instead. This bring down metapost runtime and conversion to nearly zero. The user interface is the same, but the implementation is different.
What will allow mplib in luatex the future?
the future is already there
- Will it be only a way to write Metapost code without having to call external system program (better performance)?
indeed, no mp calls any more
- Or will it be possible to write figures in lua instead of Metapost? (would be great!!)
well, in principle i could write something for that, but it's not on the agenda
Another question about ConTeXt mkiv installation
Is possible to use a local full ConTeXt distrib (with basic fonts, mplib, lua) **without interference** with existant texlive distribution (i.e. without using all the *_TEX environment variables thanks to ConTeXt mkiv ?)
it's what i do here ... luatex alongside pdftex/xetex Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
