==Availability and usage== MetaPost is distributed with many distributions of the [[TeX]] and Metafont framework, for example, it is included in the [[MiKTeX]] and the [[TeX Live]] distributions. The encapsulated postscript produced by Metapost can be included in [[LaTeX]], [[ConTeXt]], and [[TeX]] documents via standard graphics inclusion commands. The encapsulated postscript output can also be used with the [[PDFTeX]] engine, thus directly giving [[Portable Document Format|PDF]]. This ability is implemented in ConTeXt and in the LaTeX graphics package, and can be used from plain TeX via the supp-pdf.tex macro file. ConTeXt and [[LuaTeX]] supports the inclusion of MetaPost code within the input file. Inclusion of MetaPost code in LaTeX is also possible by using LaTeX-packages, for example <code>gmp</code> or <code>mpgraphics</code>.
