A better interface to metapost for generating graphs for the web

This project has two homes. It is ok to work in github, still, for a better decentralized web please consider contributing (issues, PR, etc...) throught:

Generate graph in PNG using metapost

First you need to install LaTeX, metapost and imagemagick.

Then this repo provide a metapost lib to draw automata using LaTeX labels. Then the script use the solarized color theme and also generate PNG optimized for the web.

Example

z0=origin;
z1=(gu,0);
z2=(2gu,0);
z3=(3gu,0);

drawState(z0,"A");
drawState(z1,"B");
drawState(z2,"C");
drawState(z3,"D");

drawEdge(z1,z2,"g");

drawoptions(withcolor blue);
drawEdgeAngle(z0,z2,"g\circ f",35);
drawEdge(z2,z3,"h");

drawoptions(withcolor green);
drawEdge(z0,z1,"f");
drawEdgeAngle(z1,z3,"h\circ g",-35);

drawoptions(withcolor yellow);
drawEdgeAngle(z0,z3,"(h\circ g)\circ f = h\circ (g\circ f)",50);
