- -mp
- Generate .mp files
- -png
- Generate .png files
- -ps
- Generate .1 files
- -latex
<main.tex>
- Scan the LaTeX prelude
- -eps
- Generate encapsulated postscript files
- -xpdf
- WYSIWYG mode using xpdf remote server (the name of the remote server is
"mlpost")
- -v
- Be a bit more verbose. Otherwise nothing is printed except in case of
error.
- -ocamlbuild
- Use ocamlbuild to compile
- -native
- Compile to native code
- -ccopt
<options>
- Pass <options> to the Ocaml compiler
- -execopt
<options>
- Pass <options> to the compiled program
- -version
- Print Mlpost version and exit
- -no-magic
- Do not parse mlpost options, do not call Metapost.dump
- -depend
- output dependency lines in a format suitable for the make(1) utility
- -contrib
<contrib-name>
- compile with the specified contrib
- -dumpable
- output one name of dumpable file by line. So it print all the figures
which will be created by the .ml file.
- -get-include-compile
{cmxa|cma|dir|file}
- output the libraries which are needed by the library Mlpost if you want
not to use the mlpost tool :
-
- cmxa print the needed cmxa file (opt version)
- cma print the needed cma file (byte version)
- dir print the directories needed to be include
- file print the file name inside this directory without extension
- -compile-name
<compile-name>
- Keep the compiled version of the .ml file and name it
<compile-name>.
- -dont-execute
- Don't execute the mlfile. So mlpost generates no figures. With this option
you can check that a file compile without wasting time to generate the
figures. The options -dont-execute and -compile-name can be used in
conjunction to create a program which generates some figures according to
some command line options.
- -dont-clean
- Don't remove intermediates files. The metapost backend use some
intermediates files which are removed without this option.
- -cairo
- Use the cairo backend instead of metapost
- -t1disasm
