License: gpl2
Summary description: Use LuaTeX’s built-in MetaPost interpreter
Announcement text:
* Formerly, it was not possible to give shading effect to a textual picture inside a tiling pattern. This limitation is now lifted. As a side effect, a tiling pattern inside a tiling pattern is also allowed. * 'withmppattern <string>' is a newly introduced command virtually the same as 'withpattern <string>', but the former does not force the result of MP picture. So users can use any drawing command suitable, such as 'fill' or 'filldraw' as well as 'draw'. * 'textext', 'TEX', 'mplibcolor', 'mplibdimen', or 'VerbatimTeX' can accept a string argument without parentheses. For instance, 'textext "\TeX"' is now allowed as well as 'textext("\TeX")'.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/luamplib The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/generic/luamplib/
