Subject:    mfpic.bat - process a tex file with mfpic graphs
Precedence: bulk
Status: R

The latest version of mfpic was posted yesterday on c.t.t.
Here is a (simplistic) bat file to use it under emtex.
To get the needed files, send a mail mesg (4000 lines sent back!)

TO: SHSU
SUBJECT: comp-text-tex: mfpic macros
SENDME COMP-TEXT-TEX.1992-09-09

I hope someone will post the setup for texshell 2.5 on this list.

echo The first line opens up the picture environment and
echo establishes the coordinate system.  The coordinate scale
echo is 20 points per coordinate unit (x- and y-axis scales
echo the same in this case), with bounds on both axes being -3 and 3.
echo The second line draws the axes.  The third line
echo plots a smooth Bezier interpolation of the function
echo $f(x)=(x^3-x)/3$ on the domain $-2<=x<=2$, through points
echo with x values 0.1 units apart.
echo The fourth line closes the picture environment.
