About Metapost
Metapost was created in 1994 by John Hobby. It was developed to extend Donald Knuth's Metafont, enabling the creation of PostScript graphics suitable for inclusion in TeX documents. The goal was to provide a tool for producing high-quality technical illustrations with precise control over graphic elements.
Strengths of Metapost include precise control over vector graphics, seamless integration with TeX, and the ability to generate high-quality PostScript output. Weaknesses involve a steep learning curve and limited support for modern graphic formats like SVG. Competitors include TikZ/PGF, Asymptote, and Inkscape for vector graphic creation in technical documents.
