[pdftex] epstopdf

[Ulrich Schneider]

This is not a question, but maybe a hint for anybody who
wants to use Metapost with pdftex in the future.

Normally Metapost produces eps output and to use this with
pdftex, you have to convert them into pdf-files with
epstopdf. 

If you have labeled some objects in the picture with
Metafont,  epstopdf won`t work.

But there is a very easy solution. You just have to type
\convertMPtoPDF{picture.1}{1}{1}
to include your Metapost-picture into pdflatex.
(picture.1 is the product of mpost picture.mp)

So there`s no need to convert the pics with mptopdf ore
something.
