Good morning.
Since here are many MetaPost gurus, I dare to ask this
question:
Is it possible to include a postscript figure into a
MetaPost source? If it isn't possible generally, is it
possible to include the output of other MetaPost file?
My problem is this: I'd like to prepare a logo for
some society, and I need to include a font (only letters
MUES). I chose Concrete bold font, but it doesn't exist
in PS. With Mr. Hoekwater's help (hopefully I spelled
your name correctly; if not, forgive me, please) I made
postscript figures from single letters. I can to add them
into the logo with TeX. But direct Metapost approach may
be preferable. Any hint how to do it?
Many greetings,
Michal Kvasnicka

You can indeed. See below.

Are you rsure about that? btex/etex graphics only pass fonts and rules to
the mpx file, specials are ignored,

then, you can use metafun macros to include mp subfigs,
loadfigure "koe.mp" number 1
scaled .5 ;
and do fancy things like
refill currentpicture
withcolor red ;
or
redraw currentpicture
withpen pencircle scaled 2pt withcolor green ;
also, did you read the makempy manual?
[there are also macros for including bitmap graphics, hyperlinks etc into
mp code]

Hmm. You are right. Sorry about the confusion.
I only tested this by running metapost on it.
I didn't look at the result.
Sorry once more.

Marc
