graph module metapost

graph module metapost

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

If you run a recent version, you can use the metapost graph module by saying:

\forceMPTEXgraphictrue

\appendtoks
   initialize_numbers ;
   input graph ;
   Autoform := "@g" ;
\to \MPinitializations

The next release will provide a (more efficient) module:

\usemodule[graph]

Since \usemodule is used for diffent modules TeX (bib) or MP (graph)
it has to know, that 'graph' is a MP module.
What setup is needed to load own MP moduls using \usemodule?
I think \definefilesynonym is not enough.

is there something like:

\defineMPmodule[Boxes][boxes.mp]
\usemodule[Boxes]

Thanks.

actually, it does not load an mp module, it only adds the right 
initialization code to let mp load the module

normally

\startMPinclusions
   input boxes
\stopMPinclusions

should be ok; a more general scheme (something loadMPmodule) is only needed 
when we also have to do a lot of related context interfacing (like with 
graph, where these is this text along axis stuff)

When we run into more modules, we can set up a system for that, but first 
we need to get a clear picture of demands;
