Mlpost

Participant : Jean-Christophe Filliâtre [contact] .

Mlpost is a tool to draw scientific figures to be integrated in LaTeX documents. Contrary to other tools such as TikZ or MetaPost, it does not introduce a new programming language; it is instead designed as a library of an existing programming language, namely OCaml. Yet it is based on MetaPost internally and thus provides high-quality PostScript figures and powerful features such as intersection points or clipping. Mlpost is distributed as open source, under the LGPL license, at http://mlpost.lri.fr/ . Mlpost was presented at JFLA'09 [56] .
