 7 MetaPost: Generating PostScript
 *********************************
 
 MetaPost is a picture-drawing language similar to Metafont (⇒
 Metafont), but instead of outputting bitmaps in a "font", it outputs
 PostScript commands.  It's primarily intended for creating technical
 illustrations, but can also be used to create PostScript or OpenType
 fonts (<https://ctan.org/pkg/metatype1>).
 
    MetaPost also provides for arbitrary integration of text and graphics
 in a natural way, using any typesetter (TeX and Troff are both
 supported) and a number of other subsidiary programs, described below.
