The encapsulated postscript produced by Metapost can be included in TeX, ConTeXt, and LaTeX documents via standard eps-inclusion commands.

:Metapost has a function called " arclength " to compute this, so perhaps look at the source to see how it does it.

PGF is a lower-level language, while Ti " k " Z is a set of higher-level macros that use PGF . The top-level PGF and Ti " k " Z commands are invoked as TeX macros, but in contrast with PSTricks, the PGF / Ti " k " Z graphics themselves are described in a language that resembles MetaPost.

The early documentation of dvipdfm specifically mentions the limited availability of Lesenko's dvipdf as a reason for creating dvipdfm . dvipdfm supports most of the newer special functions of the PDF format, including bookmarks, annotations, thumbnails, and dvips specials a feature making possible the inclusion of Encapsulated PostScript ( . eps ) files like METAPOST output as well inclusion of JPEG and PNG images; other features of dvipdfm include partial font embedding ( reducing file size ) and balancing the internal PDF document trees to speed up rendering of large documents . ) are also present in pdfTeX, which typesets TeX directly to PDF . The 2004, 4th edition of the " Guide to LaTeX " compares them in the following way:
