Tim, I don't know what it is about your e-mail, but your messages are coming
through to me as attached *.txt files. Please fix it if you can.
In fact, I replied to your prior e-mail without even reading your message.
I just saw the subject line and tried to be helpful. Glad it worked out.
I use the encapsulated metapost package (emp) to include my MetaPost figures
in my latex documents. You'll need it first.
Then, my coduments need a few tweaks to make everything work. Assuming
you're using pdflatex, you'll need (in addition to the rest of your junk):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{emp}
\DeclareGraphicsRule{*}{mps}{*}{}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf,.png,.mps,.mp} %% whatever else trips your
trigger.
\empfile
\begin{document}
\begin{emp}[1,1]
input foo.mp;
\end{emp}
\end{document}
The [1,1] tells emp the size of the figure. Fortunately, the rest of the
mechanisms override this value with a properly generated bounding box.
However, it is a required parameter, so you can't leave it out. [1,1] is
just a dummy variable.
Because of the \empfile, you're telling emp to bring all your mp files into
a master file for processing. Because of this, you need to remove the
beginfig(1);
from near the top of the file, and the
endfig;
end;
from the bottom of the file.
You'll want to use 0.95-pre2 if you can, Hans has made some fixes that are
important for MetaPost files.
Good luck,
Rob
