Do people still use draw "string" infont fontname Is it possible to provide a metapost package so that "...." defaults to textext? For most graphics, I want TeX to do the typesetting. Using btex ... etex or textext(...) for everything makes the source look ugly. Something less drastic. Is it possible to define macros, say LABEL such that LABEL("a string", origin) is same as label(textext(a string), origin) I do not understand metapost well enough to know if a macro can handle all the cases like LABEL("a string" scaled 1.5, origin) and so on.
