Games::Go::Dg2Mp is a Perl extension to convert Games::Go::Diagrams to John Hobbys MetaPost (which is adapted from Donald Knuths Metafont).

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Go::Dg2Mp
my $dg2mp = B convertDiagram($diagram);

A Games::Go::Dg2Mp object converts a Games::Go::Diagram object into a TeX (.tex) and a MetaPost (.mp) file. The MetaPost file contains figures for each of the diagrams and overstones required to make the complete game diagram.

Running MetaPost (mpost or possibly mp) on the .mp file creates a set of figure files, each of which is an Encapsulated PostScript figure. Running TeX (tex) on the .tex file creates a .dvi file which tries to include the Encapsulated PostScript figures. Running dvips on the .dvi file (from TeX) creates the final PostScript (.ps) file containing the complete game diagram.

See man mpost (or possibly man mp) for more details of the overall MetaPost system and environment.
