1 Introduction

The metapict library provides functions and data structures useful for generating picts. The library includes support for points, vectors, Bezier curves, and, general curves.

The algorithm used to calculate a nice curve from points and tangents is the same as the one used in MetaPost.

With this library I to hope narrow the gap between Scribble and LaTeX + MetaPost/Tikz. If you find any features in MetaPost or Tikz that you miss, don’t hesitate to mail me.
