MetaPost

MetaPost is a programming language that is used to generate images from text and numbers. It is often used in scientific and technical illustrations. MetaPost contains instructions to draw shapes, lines and add text, like a very simple word processor. You can write commands to tell MetaPost what to draw, and it will output an image. MetaPost can also be used to combine multiple images into a single image.
