makempy(1) ConTeXt makempy(1)NAMEmakempy - Helper script for conversion of (PDF or PostScript) text to
Metapost graphics
SYNOPSISmakempy filenam
DESCRIPTIONmakempy takes Metapost output files (*.mpo) and translates them to
*.mpy files. In order to include text as a graphic into a file typeset
with (Con)TeX(t), you extract the text from Postscript of PDF files
using pdftops and pstoedit, creating a Metapost input file.
This file can then be processed by makempy. The makempy script does its
work without user intervention. When it deduces that there are no
changes, it will not run at all, otherwise it will report its steps
and/or encountered error.
OPTIONS--help returns some basic help information
--silent
don t report status messages
--force
always process the file (no checksum test)
--noclean
don t remove temporary files when finished
--acrobat
use ACROBAT for conversion (only unix)
--pdftops
use PDFTOPS for conversion
--ghostscript
use GHOSTSCRIPT for conversion
VARIABLES
When set, the environment variables GS and GS_PROG will be used to
identify GHOSTSCRIPT. If needed, the names of the other programs that
are used can be set with PDFTOPS, ACROREAD and PSTOEDIT.
