Hi all,
Since ConTeXt has LuaTeX and it contains Lua interpreter so I wonder if it
is possible to write Lua code which can generate Metapost code for graphics.
MetaLua can also help here. However, I do not know
how to develop a Lua library which can be integrated with ConTeXt but then
again I have not looked in this matter.
As you people may be knowing Prof. John Hobby has written a Haskell frontend
for Metapost which generates Metapost code.
Having a Lua version of same will help a lot. My only concern is using
MetaLua with ConTeXt.

Best regards,

Hi,
Please discard previous mail as I did not know about MPlib.
