After generating a graphic via Metapost and Metafun, is the result a vector graphic or a bitmapped graphic?

The resulting PDF is a vector graphic of course. (But if you need a bitmapped one, you can create it any time of course; if not with 'printscreen', than with pdftops -eps img gs -bSAFER -dBATCH -bNOPAUSE -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -r100 \ -sDEVICE=png16m -sOutputFile=img.png img.eps) Mojca PS: Willi Egger wrote:

Metapost generates postscript.

(The original output format of metapost is really postscript, but if you use btex...etex or textext, you have to process the plain metapost files with 'mp img' and then with 'mptopdf img' in order to get the TeX labels typeset correctly; if you use it within ConTeXt, the output format is PDF anyway.)
