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

Hi John,
Metapost generates postscript.

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)

(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.)
