% Package to have \metapost code typeset directly in a document with \LuaTeX
% \end{abstract}
%
% \tableofcontents
%
% \section{Documentation}
%
% This package aims at providing a simple way to typeset directly \metapost
% code in a document with \LuaTeX. \LuaTeX\ is built with the Lua
% \mplib library, that runs \metapost code. This package is basically a
% wrapper for the Lua \mplib functions and some \TeX\
% functions to have the output of the \mplib functions in the PDF.
%
% Using this package is easy: in Plain, type your \metapost code between the
% macros \cs{mplibcode} and \cs{endmplibcode}, and in \LaTeX\ in the
% |mplibcode| environment.
%
% The resulting \metapost figures are put in a \TeX\ |hbox| with dimensions
% adjusted to the \metapost code.
%
% The code of \pkg{luamplib} is basically from the |luatex-mplib.lua| and |luatex-mplib.tex| files
% from \ConTeXt. They have been adapted to \LaTeX\ and Plain by Elie Roux and
% Philipp Gesang and new functionalities have been added by Kim Dohyun.
% The most notable changes are:
%
% \begin{itemize}
% \item Possibility to use |btex| |...| |etex| to typeset \TeX\ code.
%   \bsx|textext| \meta{string}\esx\ is a more versatile macro equivalent to \bsx|TEX| \meta{string}\esx\ from \pkg{TEX.mp}.
%   |TEX| is also allowed and is a synonym of |textext|.
%   The argument of
%   \mplib's primitive |maketext| will also be processed by the same routine.
%
% \item Possibility to use |verbatimtex| |...| |etex| to run a \TeX\ code.
%   \bsx|VerbatimTeX| \meta{string}\esx\ is a more versatile macro corresponding to |verbatimtex| command.
%   Of course the behavior cannot be the same as the stand-alone \pkg{mpost}, so that
%   you cannot include \cs{documentclass}, \cs{usepackage} etc.
%   When these \TeX\ commands are found in |verbatimtex| |...| |etex|, the entire code will be
%   ignored.
%
%   The treatment of |verbatimtex| command has changed a lot since v2.20:
%   see below \secref{mpliblegacybehavior}.
%
% \item In the past,
%   the package required PDF mode in order to have some output.
%   Starting with v2.7 it works in DVI mode as well, though
%   DVIPDFMx is the only DVI tool currently supported.
% \end{itemize}
%
% It seems to be convenient to divide the explanations of some more changes and cautions
% into three parts: \TeX, \textsc{MetaPost}, and Lua interfaces.
%
% \subsection{\TeX}
%
% \subsubsection{\cs{mplibforcehmode}}\label{sec:mplibforcehmode}
%   When this macro is declared, every \metapost figure box will be
%   typeset in horizontal mode, so that \cs{centering}, \cs{raggedleft} etc.\
%   will have effects. \cs{mplibnoforcehmode}, being default for backward compatibility,
%   reverts this setting.\footnote{Actually these commands redefine \cs{prependtomplibbox}. So you
%     can redefine this macro with anything suitable before a box.
%     But see \secref{taggedPDF} on Tagged PDF. }
%
% \subsubsection[\cs{everymplib}, \cs{everyendmplib}]{\cs{everymplib\{...\}}, \cs{everyendmplib\{...\}}}
%   \label{sec:everymplib}
%   \cs{everymplib} and \cs{everyendmplib} redefine
%   the Lua table entry containing \metapost code
%   which will
%   be automatically inserted at the beginning and ending of each \metapost code chunk.
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig draw fullcircle scaled 1cm; \endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{3}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \everymplib{ beginfig(0); }
%    \everyendmplib{ endfig; }
%    \begin{mplibcode}
%      % beginfig/endfig not needed
%      draw fullcircle scaled 1cm;
%    \end{mplibcode}
%\end{verbatim}
%
% \subsubsection[\cs{mplibsetformat}]{\cs{mplibsetformat\{plain\textbar metafun\}}}
%   \label{sec:mplibsetformat}
%   There are (basically) two formats for \metapost: \emph{plain} and
%   \emph{metafun}. By default, the \emph{plain} format is used, but you can set
%   the format to be used by future figures at any time using
%   \bsx\cs{mplibsetformat}\allowbreak\marg{format name}\esx.
%
%   \notabene As \emph{metafun} is such a complicated format,
%   we cannot support all the special effects provided by \emph{metafun}.
%   At least, however, transparency (actually opacity), shading (gradient colors) and transparency group
%   are fully supported,
%   and outlinetext is supported by our own alternative |mpliboutlinetext|
%   (see below \secref{mpliboutlinetext}).
%   You can try other effects as well, though we did not fully tested their proper functioning.
%
% \begin{description}
% \item[transparency]
%   (|texdoc metafun| \S\,8.2) Transparency is so simple that you can apply it to an object,
%   with \emph{plain} format as well as \emph{metafun},
%   just by appending \bsx|withprescript| |"tr_transparency=|\allowbreak\meta{numeric}|"|\esx\ to the sentence.
%   ($0 \le \meta{numeric} \le 1$)
%
%   From v2.36, |withtransparency| is available with \emph{plain} format as well.
%   See below \secref{luamplibtransparency}.
%
% \item[shading]
%   (|texdoc metafun| \S\,8.3) One thing worth mentioning about shading is:
%   when a color expression is given in string type,
%   it is regarded by \pkg{luamplib} as
%   a color expression of \TeX\ side.
%   For instance, when |withshadecolors("orange",| |2/3red)| is given, the first color |"orange"| will be
%   interpreted as a \pkg{color}, \pkg{xcolor} or \pkg{l3color}'s expression.
%
%   From v2.36, shading is available with \emph{plain} format as well with extended functionality.
%   See below \secref{luamplibshading}.
%
% \item[transparency group]
%   \hypertarget{metafunformat}{}\relax
%   (|texdoc metafun| \S\,8.8)
%   As for transparency group, the current \emph{metafun} document is not correct.
%   The true syntax is:
%\begin{verbatim}
%    draw <picture>|<path> asgroup <string>
%\end{verbatim}
%   where \meta{string} should be |""| (empty), |"isolated"|, |"knockout"|, or |"isolated,knockout"|.
%   Beware that currently many of the PDF rendering applications,
%   except Adobe Acrobat and \TeX works,
%   cannot properly render the isolated or knockout effect.
%
%   Transparency group is available with \emph{plain} format as well with extended functionality.
%   See below \secref{transparencygroup}.
% \end{description}
%
% \subsubsection[\cs{mplibnumbersystem}]{\cs{mplibnumbersystem\{scaled\textbar double\textbar decimal\}}}
%   \label{sec:mplibnumbersystem}
%   Users can choose |numbersystem| option.
%   The default value is |scaled|, which can be changed
%   by declaring \bsx\cs{mplibnumbersystem\{double\}}\esx\ or
%   \bsx\cs{mplibnumbersystem\{decimal\}}\esx.
%
% \subsubsection[\cs{mplibshowlog}]{\cs{mplibshowlog\{enable\textbar disable\}}}
%   \label{sec:mplibshowlog}
%   Default: |disable|.
%   When \bsx\cs{mplibshowlog\{enable\}}\esx\footnote{As for user's setting,
%   |enable|, |true| and |yes| are identical;
%   all others are identical to |disable|.} is declared, log messages returned by
%   the \metapost process will be printed to the |.log| file.
%   This is the \TeX{} side interface for |luamplib.showlog|.
%
% \subsubsection[\cs{mpliblegacybehavior}]{\cs{mpliblegacybehavior\{enable\textbar disable\}}}
%   \label{sec:mpliblegacybehavior}
%   \paragraph{Legacy behavior}
%   By default, \cs{mpliblegacybehavior\{enable\}}
%   is already declared for backward compatibility,
%   in which case \TeX\ code in
%   |verbatimtex| |...| |etex| that comes just before |beginfig()|
%   will be inserted before the
%   following \metapost figure box.  In this way,
%   each figure box can be freely moved horizontally or vertically.
%   Also, a box number can be assigned to a figure box, allowing it to be
%   reused later.\footnote{But
%     the recommended way to reuse a figure is using \cs{mplibgroup} command.
%     See below \secref{mplibgroupendmplibgroup}.
%   }
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \mplibcode
%      verbatimtex \moveright 3cm etex; beginfig(0); ... endfig;
%      verbatimtex \leavevmode etex; beginfig(1); ... endfig;
%      verbatimtex \leavevmode\lower 1ex etex; beginfig(2); ... endfig;
%      verbatimtex \endgraf\moveright 1cm etex; beginfig(3); ... endfig;
%    \endmplibcode
%\end{verbatim}
%   \notabene \cs{endgraf} should be used instead of \cs{par} inside
%   mplibcode environment.
%
%   On the other hand, \TeX\ code in |verbatimtex| |...| |etex|
%   between |beginfig()| and |endfig| will be inserted
%   after flushing out the \metapost figure. An example:\footnote{\relax
%     But the recommended way to access \metapost variables
%     from \TeX\ (or Lua) side is to use Lua code via |luamplib.instances|.
%     For details see below \secref{luamplibinstances}.}
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig D:=sqrt(2)**9; draw fullcircle scaled D; VerbatimTeX("\gdef\Dia{"&decimal D&"}");\endmpfig
%\par diameter: \Dia bp.
%\stopmpfig{4}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \mplibcode
%      D := sqrt(2)**9;
%      beginfig(0);
%        draw fullcircle scaled D;
%        VerbatimTeX("\gdef\Dia{" & decimal D & "}");
%      endfig;
%    \endmplibcode
%    diameter: \Dia bp.
%\end{verbatim}
%
%   \paragraph{New and recommended way}
%   By contrast,
%   when \bsx\cs{mpliblegacybehavior\{disable\}}\esx\ is declared, any
%   |verbatimtex| |...| |etex|, along with |btex| |...| |etex|, will be run
%   sequentially one by one.
%   So, some \TeX\ code in |verbatimtex| |...| |etex| will have effect on
%   |btex| |...| |etex| codes thereafter.
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig draw btex ABC etex; verbatimtex \bfseries etex; draw btex DEF etex shifted (1cm,0); draw btex GHI etex shifted (2cm,0); \endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{4}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \begin{mplibcode}
%      beginfig(0);
%        draw btex ABC etex;
%        verbatimtex \bfseries etex;
%        draw btex DEF etex shifted (1cm,0);    % bold face
%        draw btex GHI etex shifted (2cm,0);    % bold face
%      endfig;
%    \end{mplibcode}
%\end{verbatim}
%
% \subsubsection[\cs{mplibtextextlabel}]{\cs{mplibtextextlabel\{enable\textbar disable\}}}
%   \label{sec:mplibtextextlabel}
%   Default: |disable|.
%   \bsx\cs{mplibtextextlabel\{enable\}}\esx\ enables
%   the labels typeset via |textext| instead of |infont| operator.
%   So, |label("my text",| |origin)| thereafter is exactly the same as
%   |label(textext| |"my text",| |origin)|.
%
%   \notabene In the background,
%   \pkg{luamplib} redefines |infont| operator so that the right side
%   argument (the font part) is totally ignored. Therefore the left side arguemnt (the text part)
%   will be typeset with the current \TeX\ font.
%
%   From v2.35, however, the redefinition of |infont| operator has been revised:
%   when the character code of the text argument is less than $32$~(control characters),
%   or is equal to $35$~(|#|), $36$~(|$|), \iffalse |$|\fi
%   $37$~(|%|), $38$~(|&|), $92$~(|\|), $94$~(|^|),
%   $95$~(|_|), $123$~(|{|), $125$~(|}|), $126$~(|~|) or $127$~(DEL),
%   the original |infont| operator will be used instead of |textext| operator
%   so that the font part will be honored.
%   Despite the revision, please take care of |char| operator in the text argument,
%   as this might bring unpermitted characters into \TeX.
%
% \subsubsection[\cs{mplibcodeinherit}]{\cs{mplibcodeinherit\{enable\textbar disable\}}}
%   \label{sec:mplibcodeinherit}
%   Default: |disable|.
%   \bsx\cs{mplibcodeinherit\{enable\}}\esx\ enables the inheritance
%   of variables, constants, and macros defined by previous \metapost code chunks.
%   On the other hand, \cs{mplibcodeinherit}\allowbreak|{disable}| will make
%   each code chunk being treated as an independent instance, never
%   affected by previous code chunks.
%
% \subsubsection[\cs{mplibglobaltextext}]{\cs{mplibglobaltextext\{enable\textbar disable\}}}
%   \label{sec:mplibglobaltextext}
%   Default: |disable|.
%   Formerly, to inherit |btex| |...| |etex| boxes as well as other \metapost macros, variables and constants,
%   it was necessary to declare \cs{mplibglobaltextext}\allowbreak|{enable}| in advance.
%   But from v2.27, this is implicitly enabled when \cs{mplibcodeinherit}
%   is enabled.
%   The command still remains mostly for backward compatibility.
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig label(btex $\sqrt{2}$ etex, origin); draw fullcircle scaled 20; picture pic; pic := currentpicture; \endmpfig
%\par\mpfig currentpicture := pic scaled 2; \endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{6}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \mplibcodeinherit{enable}
%    %\mplibglobaltextext{enable}
%    \everymplib{ beginfig(0);} \everyendmplib{ endfig;}
%    \mplibcode
%      label(btex $\sqrt{2}$ etex, origin);
%      draw fullcircle scaled 20;
%      picture pic; pic := currentpicture;
%    \endmplibcode
%    \mplibcode
%      currentpicture := pic scaled 2;
%    \endmplibcode
%\end{verbatim}
%
% \subsubsection{Separate \metapost instances}
%   \pkg{luamplib} v2.22 has added the support for several named \metapost instances
%   in \LaTeX\ environment |mplibcode| or
%   Plain \TeX\ commands \cs{mplibcode} |...| \cs{endmplibcode}.
%   The syntax for \LaTeX\ is:
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \begin{mplibcode}[instanceName]
%      % some mp code
%    \end{mplibcode}
%\end{verbatim}
%   The behavior is as follows.
%   \begin{itemize}
%   \item  All the variables and functions are shared
%     only among all the environments belonging to the same instance.
%   \item  \cs{mplibcodeinherit} only affects the environments
%     with no instance name set (since if a name is set,
%     the code is intended to be reused at some point).
%   \item |btex| |...| |etex| boxes are also shared and do not
%     require \cs{mplibglobaltextext}.
%   \item  When an instance names is set,
%     respective \cs{currentmpinstancename} is set as well.
%   \end{itemize}
%   In parellel with this functionality, we support
%   optional argument of instance name for \cs{everymplib} and
%   \cs{everyendmplib}, affecting only those |mplibcode| environments
%   of the same name.
%   Unnamed \cs{everymplib} affects not only those instances with no name,
%   but also those with name but with no corresponding \cs{everymplib}.
%   The syntax is:
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \everymplib[instanceName]{...}
%    \everyendmplib[instanceName]{...}
%\end{verbatim}
%
% \subsubsection[\cs{mplibverbatim}]{\cs{mplibverbatim\{enable\textbar disable\}}}
%   \label{sec:mplibverbatim}
%   Default: |disable|.
%   Users can issue \bsx\cs{mplibverbatim\{enable\}}\esx, after which
%   the contents of mplibcode environment will be read verbatim. As a result,
%   except for \cs{mpdim} and \cs{mpcolor} (see \secref{mpdim} and \secref{mpcolor}),
%   all other \TeX\ commands outside of the
%   |btex| or |verbatimtex| |...| |etex| are not expanded and will be fed
%   literally to the \mplib library.
%
% \subsubsection[\cs{mpdim}]{\cs{mpdim\{...\}}}\label{sec:mpdim}
%   Besides other \TeX\ commands, \cs{mpdim} is specially allowed
%   in the mplibcode environment. This feature is inpired by \pkg{gmp} package authored by
%   Enrico Gregorio. Please refer to the manual of \pkg{gmp} package for details.
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig draw origin--(.4\mpdim{\linewidth},0) withpen pencircle scaled 4 dashed evenly scaled 4 withcolor \mpcolor{orange}; \endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{3}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    draw origin--(.4\mpdim{\linewidth},0)
%      withpen pencircle scaled 4 dashed evenly scaled 4
%      withcolor \mpcolor{orange} ;
%\end{verbatim}
%
% \subsubsection[\cs{mpcolor}]{\cs{mpcolor[...]\{...\}}}\label{sec:mpcolor}
%   With \cs{mpcolor} command, color names or expressions of
%   \pkg{color}, \pkg{xcolor} and \pkg{l3color} module/packages can be used in the mplibcode
%   environment (after |withcolor| command, in principle).
%   See the example above at \secref{mpdim}.
%   The optional |[...]| denotes the option of \pkg{xcolor}'s \cs{color} command.
%   For spot colors, \pkg{l3color} module is well supported in PDF and DVI mode.
%   Package \pkg{colorspace} is supported as well in PDF mode,
%   but could conflict with \pkg{luamplib}'s special features such as shading
%   when \cs{DocumentMetadata}, i.e.\ PDF management code, is not loaded.
%
%   \notabene Formerly,
%   only the first object would have been colored as intended
%   among multiple graphical objects in a \metapost image,
%   because \cs{mpcolor} always produced |withprescript| command internally.
%   Since v2.38.1, now that \cs{mpcolor} returns a \metapost color expression if possible,
%   users can issue the sentence as follows
%   without worrying about the location of the color command:
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig draw image (drawarrow (left--right) scaled 5) scaled 8 withcolor \mpcolor{red!50};\endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{2}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    draw image (drawarrow (left--right) scaled 5)
%      scaled 8
%      withcolor \mpcolor{red!50} ;
%\end{verbatim}
%   \notabene Be aware, however, that even after v2.38.1 \cs{mpcolor} still inserts
%   |withprescript| command when the color specified is a spot color
%   (or named color in DVI mode).
%   Users therefore have to revise the code so that the color can have effect inside the image.
%   For instance:
%\begin{verbatim}
%    draw image (drawarrow (left--right) scaled 5)
%      scaled 8
%      withcolor \mpcolor{spotA}
%      withoutcolor ;
%\end{verbatim}
% or preferably,
%\begin{verbatim}
%    draw image (drawarrow (left--right) scaled 5 withcolor \mpcolor{spotA})
%      scaled 8 ;
%\end{verbatim}
%
%
% \subsubsection[\cs{mpfig}, \cs{endmpfig}]{\cs{mpfig ...} \cs{endmpfig}}
%   Besides the |mplibcode| environment (for \LaTeX) and
%   \cs{mplibcode ...} \cs{endmplibcode} (for Plain),
%   we also provide unexpandable \TeX\ macros \cs{mpfig} |...| \cs{endmpfig} and its starred version
%   \cs{mpfig*} |...| \cs{endmpfig} to save typing toil.
%   The former is roughly the same as follows:
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \begin{mplibcode}[@mpfig]
%      beginfig(0)
%        token list declared by \everymplib[@mpfig]
%        ...
%        token list declared by \everyendmplib[@mpfig]
%      endfig;
%    \end{mplibcode}
%\end{verbatim}
%   and the starred version is roughly the same as follows:
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \begin{mplibcode}[@mpfig]
%      ...
%    \end{mplibcode}
%\end{verbatim}
%   In these macros \cs{mpliblegacybehavior\{disable\}}
%   is forcibly declared.
%   Again, as both share the same instance name, \metapost codes are inherited among them.
%   A simple example:
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig* input boxes \endmpfig \mpfig drawoptions(withcolor 1/3[red,white]); circleit.a(btex Box 1 etex); drawboxed(a); \endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{3}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \everymplib[@mpfig]{ drawoptions(withcolor 1/3[red,white]); }
%    \mpfig* input boxes \endmpfig
%    \mpfig
%      circleit.a(btex Box 1 etex); drawboxed(a);
%    \endmpfig
%\end{verbatim}
%   Users can change the instance name (default value:\ |@mpfig|) by redefining
%   \cs{mpfiginstancename}, after which a new \mplib instance will start and
%   code inheritance too will begin anew.
%   \cs{let}\allowbreak\cs{mpfiginstancename}\allowbreak\cs{empty} will
%   prevent code inheritance if \cs{mplibcodeinherit} is not true.
%
% \subsubsection{About cache files}
%   \label{sec:mplibcachedir}
%   To support |btex| |...| |etex| in external |.mp| files, \pkg{luamplib}
%   inspects the content of each and every |.mp| file and makes caches
%   if nececcsary before returning their paths to the \mplib library.
%   This could waste the compilation time, as most |.mp| files
%   do not contain |btex| |...| |etex| commands.  So \pkg{luamplib} provides
%   macros as follows, so that users can give instructions about files
%   that do not require this functionality.
%   \begin{itemize}
%   \item \cs{mplibmakenocache}|{|\meta{filename}|[,|\meta{filename}|,...]}|
%   \item \cs{mplibcancelnocache}|{|\meta{filename}|[,|\meta{filename}|,...]}|
%   \end{itemize}
%   where \meta{filename} is a filename without |.mp| extension.
%   Note that |.mp| files under |$TEXMFMAIN/|\allowbreak|metapost/|\allowbreak|base| and
%   |$TEXMFMAIN/metapost/context/base| are already registered by default.
%   \notabene \bsx\cs{mplibmakenocache}|{*}|\esx\ will suppress making cache files.
%   Use it at your own risk.
%
%   By default, cache files will be stored in |$TEXMFVAR/luamplib_cache| or,
%   if it's not available (mostly not writable),
%   in the directory where output files are saved:
%   to be specific, |$TEXMF_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY/luamplib_cache|,
%   |./luamplib_cache|, |$TEXMFOUTPUT/luamplib_cache|, and |.|, in this order.
%   |$TEXMF_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY| is normally the value of |--output-directory|
%   command-line option.
%
%   Users can change this behavior by the command
%   \bsx\cs{mplibcachedir}\marg{directory path}\esx, where tilde (|~|) is interpreted
%   as the user's home directory (on a windows machine as well).
%   As backslashes (\cs{}) should be escaped by users, it would be easier to use
%   slashes (|/|) instead.
%
% \subsubsection{About figure box metric}
%   Notice that, after each figure is processed, the macro \cs{MPwidth} stores
%   the width value of the latest figure; \cs{MPheight}, the height value.
%   Incidentally, also note that \cs{MPllx}, \cs{MPlly}, \cs{MPurx}, and
%   \cs{MPury} store the bounding box information of the latest figure
%   without the unit |bp|.
%
% \subsubsection{luamplib.cfg}
%   At the end of package loading, \pkg{luamplib} searches
%   |luamplib.cfg| and, if found, reads the file in automatically.
%   Frequently used settings such as \cs{everymplib}, \cs{mplibforcehmode}
%   or \cs{mplibcodeinherit} are suitable for going into this file.
%
% \subsubsection{Tagged PDF}\label{sec:taggedPDF}
% When \pkg{tagpdf} package is loaded and activated, |mplibcode| environment accepts additional options for tagged PDF\@.
% The code related to this functionality is currently in experimental stage, not guaranteeing backward compatibility.
% Available optional keys are similar to those of the \LaTeX's |picture| environment
% (|texdoc| |latex-lab-graphic|).
% The default tagging mode is the |alt| key with |Figure| structure.
% \begin{description}
% \item[alt=\meta{text}] starts a |Figure| tag by default and
%   sets an alternate text of the figure from the \meta{text}.
%   BBox info will be added automatically to the PDF\@.
%   This key is needed for ordinary \metapost figures, for which,
%   if no |alt| text is given, a default text will be used with a warning issued.
%   You can change the alternate text within \metapost code as well:
%   \bsx|VerbatimTeX| |"\mplibalttext|\marg{text}|";|\esx
% \item[actualtext=\meta{text}] starts a |Span| tag implicitly and sets a
%   replacement text (a.k.a.\ actual text) from the \meta{text}.
%   If in vertical mode, horizontal mode will be forced by \cs{noindent} command.\footnote{\relax
%     It is not recommended to personally redefine \cs{prependtomplibbox}.
%     Apart from using \cs{mplibforcehmode} or \cs{mplibnoforcehmode},
%     the redefinition might be incompatible with |actualtext| key.
%     See \secref{mplibforcehmode} on these commands. }
%   BBox info will not be added.
%   This key is intended for figures which can be represented by a character or
%   a small sequence of characters.
%   You can change the actual text within \metapost code as well:
%   \bsx|VerbatimTeX| |"\mplibactualtext|\marg{text}|";|\esx
% \item[artifact] starts an |Artifact| MC (marked content).
%   BBox info will not be added.
%   This key is intended for decorative figures which have no semantic meaning.
% \item[text] starts an |Artifact| MC but enables tagging on \TeX-text boxes
%   (such as |btex| |...| |etex|, excluding pictures made by |infont| operator).
%   If in vertical mode, horizontal mode will be forced by \cs{noindent} command.\footnote{\relax
%     The key |text| also shares the limitation mentioned in the previous footnote.}
%   BBox info will not be added.
%   This key is intended for figures the meaning of which is the sequence of texts in the
%   \TeX-text boxes in the order they are drawn in the figure.
%
%   \notabene Within |text|-mode figures, reusing \TeX-text boxes is strongly discouraged.
%
%   Note that the text in a \TeX-text box which starts with |[taggingoff]| will not be tagged
%   at all, and
%   of course |[taggingoff]| and its trailing spaces will be gobbled by \pkg{luamplib}.
%   For example, the first and the third boxes in the following figure will not be tagged,
%   and still remain in the |Artifact| MC-chunks.
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig draw btex [taggingoff] $\sqrt 2$ etex; draw textext "$\sqrt 3$" shifted 12down; draw TEX "[taggingoff] $\sqrt 5$" shifted 24down; draw maketext "$\sqrt 7$" shifted 36down; draw mplibgraphictext "$\sqrt x$" shifted 48down; \endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{5}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \begin{mplibcode}[text]
%      beginfig(1)
%        draw btex [taggingoff] $\sqrt 2$ etex ;
%        draw textext "$\sqrt 3$" shifted 12down ;
%        draw TEX "[taggingoff] $\sqrt 5$" shifted 24down ;
%        draw maketext "$\sqrt 7$" shifted 36down ;
%        draw mplibgraphictext "$\sqrt x$" shifted 48down ;
%      endfig;
%    \end{mplibcode}
%\end{verbatim}
% \item[off] Given this key, nothing will be tagged by \pkg{luamplib}.
% \item[tag=\meta{name}] You can choose a tag name, default value being |Figure|.\relax
%   \footnote{The option |tag=false|, however, is a synonym of the |off| key.}
%   For instance, you can set \bsx|tag=Formula,| |alt=|\meta{text}\esx\ to get
%   a |Formula| element with its alternate text.\footnote{Beware that this bypasses
%     \LaTeX's regular math formula tagging, for which the |text| key is needed.}
% \item[adjust-BBox=\meta{dimens}] You can correct the BBox attribute of the figure
%   by space-separated four dimensional values, which will be added to the
%   automatically calculated BBox values.
%   To draw the bounding box for checking with half-transparent red color, you can add
%   |debug=|\allowbreak|BBox| to the argument of \cs{DocumentMetadata} command.
% \item[tagging-setup=\meta{key-val list}]
%   This key accepts as its value the list of key-value options mentioned so far.
% \end{description}
% You can set these options anywhere in the document by declaring
% \bsx\cs{SetKeys}\allowbreak |[luamplib/tagging]|\allowbreak \marg{key-val list}\esx,
% which will affect \pkg{mplib} figures thereafter in the scope.
% And the options listed above are provided for \cs{mpfig} and \cs{usemplibgroup}
% (see \hyperlink{usemplibgroup}{below} \secref{transparencygroup}) commands as well.
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \begin{mplibcode}[myInstanceName, alt=drawing of a circle]
%      ...
%    \end{mplibcode}
%
%    \mpfig[alt=drawing of a square box]
%      ...
%    \endmpfig
%
%    \mppattern{...}           % see below
%      \mpfig[off]             % do not tag this figure
%        ...
%      \endmpfig
%    \endmppattern
%
%    \mplibgroup{...}          % see below
%      \mpfig[off]             % do not tag this figure
%        ...
%      \endmpfig
%    \endmplibgroup
%
%    \usemplibgroup[alt=drawing of a triangle]{...}
%\end{verbatim}
% As for the instance name of |mplibcode| environment,
% \bsx|instance=|\meta{name}\esx\ or \bsx|instancename=|\allowbreak\meta{name}\esx\ is also allowed
% in addition to the raw instance name as shown above.
%
%
% \subsection{\textsc{MetaPost}}
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily mplibdimen, mplibcolor]{\ttfamily mplibdimen ..., mplibcolor ...}
%   \bsx|mplibdimen| \meta{string}\esx\ and \bsx|mplibcolor| \meta{string}\esx\
%   are \metapost interfaces for the \TeX\ commands
%   \cs{mpdim} and \cs{mpcolor} (see above \secref{mpdim} and \secref{mpcolor}). For example,
%   |mplibdimen| |"\linewidth"| is basically the same as \cs{mpdim\{\cs{linewidth}\}}, and
%   |mplibcolor| |"red!50"| is basically the same as \cs{mpcolor\{red!50\}}.
%   The difference is that these \metapost operators can also be used in external |.mp| files,
%   which cannot have \TeX\ commands outside of the |btex| or |verbatimtex| |...| |etex|.
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily mplibtexcolor, mplibrgbtexcolor]{\ttfamily mplibtexcolor ..., mplibrgbtexcolor ...}
%   \label{sec:mplibtexcolor}
%   \bsx|mplibtexcolor| \meta{string}\esx\ is a \metapost operator that converts a \TeX\ color expression
%   to a \metapost color expression, that can be used anywhere color expression is expected
%   as well as after the |withcolor| command.\footnote{\relax
%     Since v2.38.1, the operation of |mplibtexcolor| is the same as that of |mplibcolor|
%     if the color specified is not a spot color or a named color in DVI mode.
%   }
%   For instance:
%\begin{verbatim}
%    color col;
%    col := mplibtexcolor "olive!50";
%\end{verbatim}
%   But the result may vary in its color model (gray/rgb/cmyk)
%   according to the given \TeX\ color.
%   Therefore the example shown above would raise a \metapost error:
%   |cmykcolor col;| should have been declared.
%   By contrast, \bsx|mplibrgbtexcolor| \meta{string}\esx\ always returns rgb-model expressions.
%
%   \notabene Spot colors are forced to cmyk or rgb model,
%   so these operators are not recommended for spot colors.
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily withmplibcolors]{\ttfamily withmplibcolors (..., ...)}
%   \label{sec:withmplibcolors}
%   Unlike the |withcolor| command, users can specify one color for filling
%   and another color for stroking using the macro |withmplibcolors| at the end of a sentence.
%   The syntax is \bsx|withmplibcolors| |(|\meta{fill color expr}|,| \meta{stroke color expr}|)|\esx.
%   When the argument is in string type, it is regarded as the color expression of \TeX\ side.
%   A simple example (see also the example at \secref{mplibdrawglyph}):
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig filldraw fullcircle scaled 40 withpen pencircle scaled 2 withmplibcolors ("orange!60", 2/3red); \endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{2}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    filldraw fullcircle scaled 40
%      withpen pencircle scaled 2
%      withmplibcolors ("orange!60", 2/3red) ;
%\end{verbatim}
%   The PDF file size is much smaller than issueing two sentences with different colors,
%   though the apparent effect is the same.
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily withtransparency]{\ttfamily withtransparency (..., ...)}
%   \label{sec:luamplibtransparency}
%   \bsx|withtransparency(|\meta{number} \textbar\ \meta{string}|,| \meta{numeric}|)|\esx\
%   is provided for \emph{plain} format as well as \emph{metafun}.
%   The first argument accepts a number or a name among
%   alternative transparency methods (see |texdoc| |metafun| \S\,8.2 Figure~8.1).
%   The second argument accepts a numeric expression denoting opacity.
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig fill unitsquare scaled 40 withcolor 1/3[blue,white] withtransparency(1,0.5); fill fullcircle scaled 40 withcolor 1/3[red,white] withtransparency (1,0.5); \endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{6}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \mpfig
%      fill unitsquare scaled 40
%        withcolor 1/3[blue,white]
%        withtransparency (1, 0.5)           % or ("normal", 0.5)
%        ;
%      fill fullcircle scaled 40
%        withcolor 1/3[red,white]
%        withtransparency (1, 0.5)
%        ;
%    \endmpfig
%\end{verbatim}
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily withmplibopacities]{\ttfamily withmplibopacities (..., ..., ...)}
%   \label{sec:withmplibopacities}
% By analogy with the macro |withmplibcolors| (see above \secref{withmplibcolors}),
% the macro |withmplibopacities| is also provided.
% The syntax is \bsx|withmplibopacities|
% |(|\meta{number} \textbar\ \meta{string}|,| \meta{numeric}, \meta{numeric}|)|\esx.
% The first argument is the same as that of |withtransparency| command
% described above at \secref{luamplibtransparency};
% the latter two arguments are numeric expressions denoting
% \emph{fill opacity} and \emph{stroke opacity} respectively.
% It is more efficient than issueing two sentences with different opacities.
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig pickup pencircle scaled 2; filldraw unitsquare scaled 40 withcolor 1/3[blue,white] withmplibopacities (1, 1/2, 1); filldraw fullcircle scaled 40 withcolor 1/3[red,white] withmplibopacities (1, 1/2, 1); \endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{6}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \mpfig
%      pickup pencircle scaled 2;
%      filldraw unitsquare scaled 40
%        withcolor 1/3[blue,white]
%        withmplibopacities (1, 1/2, 1)      % or ("normal", 1/2, 1)
%        ;
%      filldraw fullcircle scaled 40
%        withcolor 1/3[red,white]
%        withmplibopacities (1, 1/2, 1)
%        ;
%    \endmpfig
%\end{verbatim}
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily mplibgraphictext]{\ttfamily mplibgraphictext ...}
%     \label{sec:mplibgraphictext}
%   \bsx|mplibgraphictext| \meta{string}\esx\ is a \metapost operator,
%   the effect of which is similar to that of
%   \ConTeXt's |graphictext| or our own |mpliboutlinetext|
%   (see below \secref{mpliboutlinetext}).
%   However the syntax is somewhat different.
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig draw mplibgraphictext "$\sqrt{2+x}$" rotated 10 scaled 3 fakebold 2.5 fillcolor "red!50" drawcolor 2/3 red; \endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{3}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    draw mplibgraphictext "$\sqrt{2+x}$"
%      rotated 10 scaled 3
%      fakebold 2.5                           % fontspec option
%      fillcolor "red!50"                     % color expression
%      drawcolor 2/3 red                      % or strokecolor 2/3 red
%      ;
%\end{verbatim}
%   |fakebold|, |fillcolor| and |drawcolor| (or |strokecolor|) are optional;
%   default values are |2|, |"white"| and |"black"| respectively.\footnote{Users can
%     use the |withmplibcolors| macro instead of |fillcolor| and |drawcolor| options.
%     See \secref{withmplibcolors} on this macro.}
%   When the color expression is given in string type, it is regarded as
%   \pkg{color}, \pkg{xcolor} or \pkg{l3color}'s expression.
%   All from |mplibgraphictext| to the end of sentence will compose an
%   anonymous picture, which can be drawn or assigned to a variable.
%   Incidentally, |withfillcolor| and |withdrawcolor| are synonyms of
%   |fillcolor| and |drawcolor|, hopefully to be compatible with |graphictext|.
%
%   \notabene
%   In some cases,
%   especially when processing complicated \TeX\ code,
%   |mplibgraphictext| will produce better results than \ConTeXt\
%   or even than our own |mpliboutlinetext|, not to mention the much smaller PDF file size.
%   There are, however, some limitations such that you can't
%   apply shading (gradient colors) to the text with \emph{metafun}'s |withshademethod|.\relax
%   \footnote{But this limitation is now lifted by the introduction of |withshadingmethod|.
%     See below \secref{luamplibshading}.}
%   Again,
%   in DVI mode, \pkg{unicode-math} package is needed for math formulae,
%   as we cannot embolden type1 fonts in DVI mode.
%   But the most critical limitation is that, unlike |mpliboutlinetext|,
%   you cannot manipulate the shape of outline paths,
%   because the returned picture is basically a |btex| |...| |etex| picture.
%
%   \subsubsection[\ttfamily mplibglyph]{\ttfamily mplibglyph ... of ...}
%   \metapost operator \bsx|mplibglyph|
%   \meta{number} \textbar\ \meta{string} |of| \meta{number} \textbar\ \meta{string}\esx\
%   returns a \metapost picture
%   containing outline paths of a glyph in OpenType, TrueType or Type1 (|.pfb|) fonts.
%   When a TFM font is specified, \metapost primitive |glyph| will be called.
%\begin{verbatim}
%    mplibglyph 50  of \fontid\font           % slot 50 of current font
%    mplibglyph "Q" of "TU/TeXGyrePagella(0)/m/n/10"      % font csname
%    mplibglyph "Q" of "texgyrepagella-regular.otf"       % raw filename
%    mplibglyph "R" of "utmr8a.pfb"                       % raw filename (type1 font)
%    mplibglyph "Q" of "Times.ttc(2)"                     % subfont number
%    mplibglyph "Q" of "SourceHanSansK-VF.otf[Regular]"   % instance name
%    mplibglyph "R" of "SourceHanSansK-VF.otf[wght=800]"  % axis names & values
%\end{verbatim}
%   Both arguments before and after `|of|' can be either a number or a string.
%   Number arguments are regarded as a glyph slot (GID) and a font id number, repectively.
%   String argument at the left side is regarded as a glyph name in the font or a unicode character.
%   String argument at the right side is regarded as a \TeX\ font csname (without backslash) or
%   the raw filename of a font. When it is a font filename, a number within parentheses
%   after the filename denotes a
%   subfont number (starting from zero) of a TTC font; a string within brackets denotes
%   an instance name, or names and values for |axis| feature, of a variable font.
%
%   \notabene Regrettably we have some bug in processing
%   not a few glyphs in |cmr10.pfb| and its family (or maybe other) Type1 fonts.\relax
%     \footnote{The bug seems to be fixed in |font-cff.lmt| contained in \ConTeXt mkxl, but
%     current \pkg{luaotfload} is based on |font-cff.lua| from \ConTeXt mkiv.
%     As you see, |mplibglyph| operator requires \pkg{luaotfload} package loaded,
%     which however is done automatically by \LaTeX\ format.}
%   If that happens, consider using |glyph| operator instead of |mplibglyph|.
%
%   \subsubsection[\texttt{mplibdrawglyph}, and its friends]{\ttfamily mplibdrawglyph ...,
%     mplibstrokeglyph ..., mplibfillandstrokeglyph ...}
%     \label{sec:mplibdrawglyph}
%   As the structure of the picture returned by |mplibglyph| is quite similar to
%   the result of |glyph| primitive,
%   \metapost's |draw| command will fill the inner path of the picture with the background color.
%   In contrast, \bsx|mplibdrawglyph| \meta{picture}\esx\ command fills the paths
%   according to the nonzero winding number rule.
%   As a result, for instance, the area surrounded by inner path of ``O'' will remain transparent.
%
%   \notabene
%   To apply the nonzero winding number rule to a picture containing paths,
%   \pkg{luamplib} appends |withpostscript| |"collect"|
%   to the paths except the last one in the picture.
%   If you want the even-odd rule instead, you can
%   additionally declare |withpostscript| |"evenodd"| to the last path.
%
%   \notabene
%   By the way, when you want fill-and-stroke effect,
%   issueing |filldraw| command to the last path will not always produce what you want:
%   in such cases, you have to issue the command
%   |draw| \meta{the last path} |withpostscript| |"both"|
%   (or |"eoboth"| to apply even-odd rule).\footnote{\emph{metafun} provides macros
%     |nofill|, |eofill|, |fillup|, |eofillup| etc.\ (see \emph{metafun} manual \S\,2.11),
%     which \pkg{luamplib} with \emph{plain} format does not provide currently. }
%
%   As this could be somewhat annoying to users, \pkg{luamplib} v2.38.0 or later provides the following commands as well:
%   \bsx|mplibfillandstrokeglyph| \meta{picture}\esx, \bsx|mplibstrokeglyph| \meta{picture}\esx,
%   and \bsx|mplibfillglyph| \meta{picture}\esx, the last one being a synonym of |mplibdrawglyph| command.
%
%   An example:
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig mplibfillandstrokeglyph mplibglyph "R" of \fontid\font scaled 1/12 withpen pencircle scaled 1 withmplibcolors ("orange", 2/3red); \endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{3}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    mplibfillandstrokeglyph
%      mplibglyph "R" of \fontid\font scaled 1/12
%      withpen pencircle scaled 1
%      withmplibcolors ("orange", 2/3red) ;
%\end{verbatim}
%
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily mpliboutlinetext]{\ttfamily mpliboutlinetext (...)}
%   \label{sec:mpliboutlinetext}
%   As said before at \secref{mplibsetformat}, \pkg{luamplib} provides
%   the \metapost operator \bsx|mpliboutlinetext| |(|\meta{string}|)|\esx\ which mimicks
%   \emph{metafun}'s |outlinetext|,
%   but with some enhancements including the support for right-to-left writing direction.
%   The syntax is the same as that of \emph{metafun}: see the \emph{metafun}
%   documentation \S\,8.7 (|texdoc| |metafun|).
%
%   A simple example:
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig draw mpliboutlinetext.b ("$\sqrt{2+\alpha}$") (withcolor \mpcolor{red!50}) (withpen pencircle scaled .25 withcolor 2/3red) scaled 3; \endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{2}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    draw mpliboutlinetext.b ("$\sqrt{2+\alpha}$")
%      (withcolor \mpcolor{red!50})
%      (withpen pencircle scaled .25 withcolor 2/3red)
%      scaled 3 ;
%\end{verbatim}
%   After the process, |mpliboutlinepic[]|
%   and |mpliboutlinenum| will be preserved as global variables;
%   |mpliboutlinepic[1]| |...| |mpliboutlinepic[mpliboutlinenum]|
%   will be an array of images, each of which containing outline paths of a glyph or a rule.
%
%   \notabene As Unicode grapheme cluster is not considered in the array, a unit that must be
%   a single cluster might be separated apart.
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily mpliblength, mplibuclength]{\ttfamily mpliblength ..., mplibuclength ...}
%   \bsx|mpliblength| \meta{string}\esx\ returns the number of unicode characters in the string.
%   This is a unicode-aware version equivalent to the \metapost primitive |length|, but
%   accepts only a string-type argument.
%   For instance, |mpliblength| |"abçdéf"| returns |6|, not |8|.
%
%   On the other hand,
%   \bsx|mplibuclength| \meta{string}\esx\ returns the number of unicode grapheme clusters in the string.
%   For instance, |mplibuclength| |"Äpfel"|,
%   where |Ä| is encoded using two codepoints (U+0041 and U+0308),
%   returns |5|, not |6| or |7|.
%   This operator requires \pkg{lua-uni-algos} package installed.
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily mplibsubstring, mplibucsubstring]{\ttfamily mplibsubstring ... of ..., mplibucsubstring ... of ...}
%   \bsx|mplibsubstring| \meta{pair} |of| \meta{string}\esx\ is a unicode-aware version equivalent to the
%   \metapost's |substring ... of ...| primitive. The syntax is the same as the latter,
%   but the string is indexed by unicode characters.
%   For instance, |mplibsubstring| |(2,5)| |of| |"abçdéf"| returns |"çdé"|,
%   and |mplibsubstring| |(5,2)| |of| |"abçdéf"| returns |"édç"|.
%
%   On the other hand,
%   \bsx|mplibucsubstring| \meta{pair} |of| \meta{string}\esx\ returns the part of the string indexed
%   by unicode grapheme clusters.
%   For instance, |mplibucsubstring| |(0,1)| |of| |"Äpfel"|,
%   where |Ä| is encoded using two codepoints (U+0041 and U+0308),
%   returns |"Ä"|, not |"A"|.
%   This operator requires \pkg{lua-uni-algos} package installed.
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily withshadingmethod]{\ttfamily ... withshadingmethod ...}
%   \label{sec:luamplibshading}
%   The syntax is exactly the same as \emph{metafun}'s new shading method (|texdoc metafun| \S\,8.3.3), except that
%   the `|shade|' contained in each and every macro name has changed to
%   `|shading|' in \pkg{luamplib}: for instance, while |withshademethod| is
%   a macro name which only works with \emph{metafun} format,
%   the equivalent provided by \pkg{luamplib}, |withshadingmethod|, works with \emph{plain} as well.
%   Other differences to the \emph{metafun}'s and some cautions are:
%   \begin{itemize}
%   \item \emph{Textual pictures} as well as paths can have shading effect.
%     The term \emph{textual picture} here means
%     a picture generated by |btex| |...| |etex|, |textext|, |TEX|, |maketext|,
%     |mplibgraphictext| (see below \secref{mplibgraphictext}), or |infont| operator,
%     though technically only the last one is a true textual picture.
%     Note that the picture, including transparency group,
%     in which the objects are filled \emph{without} color
%     can also be regarded as a textual picture.\footnote{\relax
%       See below \secref{mplibdrawglyph},
%       particularly the first \hyperlink{firstpatternexample}{example} of tiling pattern
%       at \secref{mppattern}.
%       See also \secref{transparencygroup} and \secref{mplibgroupendmplibgroup},
%       particularly the example in the \hyperlink{para:pictureshading}{note}
%       about picture shading and transparency group.}

%      ) ;
%\end{verbatim}
%   \item When shading a picture generated by `|infont|' operator or that has multiple components,
%     the effect of |withshadingvector| and that of |withshadingdirection| will be the same,
%     as \pkg{luamplib} considers only the bounding box of the picture.
%   \item A few more optional macros are available in addition to the \emph{metafun}'s:
%    |withshadingpoints|, |withshadingcenters|, |withshadingextend|, |withshadingmatrix|,
%    and |withshadingstroke|.
%   \item More shading methods are available: |"triangle"|, |"lattice"|, |"coons"|, and |"tensor"|.
%    See below \secref{trianglemesh}, \secref{latticemesh}, \secref{coonspatchmesh} and
%    \secref{tensorpatchmesh} for these methods.
%   \end{itemize}
% The syntax is \bsx\meta{path} \textbar\ \meta{textual picture} |withshadingmethod| \meta{string}\esx,
% where the latter shall be |"linear"|, |"circular"|, |"triangle"|, |"lattice"|, |"coons"|, or |"tensor"|.
% The balance of this subsection is to explain additional optional macros.
% Above all, there are two ways in specifying the shading coordinates, of which
% you can choose the more convenient one.
% First, the way that mimicks the \emph{metafun}'s:
% \begin{description}
%   \item[withshadingvector \meta{pair}]
%     Starting and ending points (as time value) on the path.
%   \item[withshadingdirection \meta{pair}]
%     Starting and ending points (as time value) on the bounding box,
%     default value being |(0,2)|.
%   \item[withshadingorigin \meta{pair}]
%     The center of both starting and ending circles,
%     default value being |center p|, where |p| is the operand of |withshadingmethod|.
%   \item[withshadingcenter \meta{pair}]
%     Value to specify the starting center.
%     For instance,
%     |(0,0)| means that the center of starting circle is |center p|;
%     |(1,1)| means |urcorner p|; |(-1,-1)| means |llcorner p|.
%   \item[withshadingradius \meta{pair}]
%     Radii of starting and ending circles. This is no-op in linear mode.
%     Default value: |(0,| |abs(center p -| |urcorner p))|
%   \item[withshadingfactor \meta{numeric}]
%     Multiplier of the radii, default value being |1.2|.
%     This is no-op in linear mode.
%   \item[withshadingtransform \meta{string}]
%     where \meta{string} shall be |"yes"| (respect transform) or |"no"| (ignore transform).
%     Default value: |"no"| for pictures made by |infont| operator or having multiple components;
%     |"yes"| for all other cases.
% \end{description}
% Secondly, the way provided by \pkg{luamplib} only:
% \begin{description}
%   \item[withshadingpoints (\meta{pair}, \meta{pair})]
%     In linear mode, values to specify directly the starting and ending points:
%     you can use it instead of |withshadingvector| or |withshadingdirection|.
%     In circular mode, the centers of starting and ending circles:
%     it could be easier than issueing two macros
%     |withshadingorigin| and |withshadingcenter|.
%     Note that, within the macro, both \bsx|withshadingfactor| |1|\esx\ and
%     \bsx|withshadingtransform| |"no"|\esx\ are already decalred.
%   \item[withshadingcenters (\meta{pair}, \meta{pair})]
%     Synonym of |withshadingpoints|.
%     Normally accompanied by |withshadingradius| which has the same meaning as described above.
% \end{description}
% Now, optional macros common to the both ways:
% \begin{description}
%   \item[withshadingstep (|...|)]
%     For combined shading of more than two colors.
%   \item[withshadingfraction \meta{numeric}]
%     Fractional number of each shading step,
%     and so only meaningful within |withshadingstep|.
%   \item[withshadingcolors (\meta{color expr}, \meta{color expr})]
%     Starting and ending colors,
%     default value being |(white,| |black)|.
%     String-type argument is regarded as the color expression of \TeX\ side.
%   \item[withshadingdomain \meta{pair}]
%     Limiting values of parametric variable
%     that varies on the axis of color gradient,
%     default value being |(0,1)|. Of course the values can be negative or greater than $1$.
%   \item[withshadingextend (\meta{boolean}, \meta{boolean})]
%     Values specifying whether to extend the shading
%     beyond the starting and ending points or circles, default value being |(true,| |true)|.
%     An example just to show the concept:
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig path p[]; p1 = fullcircle scaled 50; p2 = fullcircle scaled 50 shifted 40right; fill (subpath (2,6) of p1 -- subpath (-2,2) of p2 -- cycle) rotated 10 withshadingmethod "circular" withshadingcenters (center p1, center p2 rotated 10) withshadingradius (25,25) withshadingcolors (3/4[red,white], red) withshadingextend (false, false) ; \endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{8}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \mpfig
%      path p[];
%      p1 = fullcircle scaled 50;
%      p2 = fullcircle scaled 50 shifted 40 right;
%      fill (subpath (2,6) of p1 -- subpath (-2,2) of p2 -- cycle) rotated 10
%        withshadingmethod  "circular"
%        withshadingcenters (center p1, center p2 rotated 10)
%        withshadingradius  (25, 25)
%        withshadingcolors  (3/4[red,white], red)
%        withshadingextend  (false, false) ;
%    \endmpfig
%\end{verbatim}
%   \item[withshadingmatrix \meta{string}]
%     \metapost code for transformation of shading, such as |"xscaled 1.2| |yscaled 0.8"|;
%     or six numerics separated by spaces, such as |"1.2 0 0 0.8 0 0"|.
%   \item[withshadingstroke \meta{string}]
%     where \meta{string} shall be |"yes"| or |"no"|.
%     Only meaningful when the shading object is a \meta{path};
%     if |"yes"|, we get the path stroked and \emph{then} shaded.
%     It is more efficient than issueing two sentences.
% \end{description}
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily withfademethod]{\ttfamily ... withfademethod ...}
%   This is a \metapost command which makes the color of an object gradiently transparent,
%   a.k.a.\ \emph{fading}.
%   The syntax is \bsx\meta{path} \textbar\ \meta{picture} |withfademethod| \meta{string}\esx,
%   the latter being either |"linear"| or |"circular"|.
%   Though it is similar to the |withshademethod| from \emph{metafun},
%   the differences are: (1)~the object of fading can be a picture as well as a path;
%   (2)~you cannot make gradient colors, but can only make gradient opacity.
%   Technically speaking, this command generates and applies a special kind of
%   masking transparency group described below at \secref{withmaskinggroup}.
%
%   Related macros to control optional values are:
%   \begin{description}
%   \item [withfadeopacity (\meta{numeric}, \meta{numeric})]
%     sets the starting opacity and the ending opacity, default value being |(1,0)|.
%     `|1|' denotes full color; `|0|' full transparency.
%   \item [withfadevector (\meta{pair}, \meta{pair})]
%     sets the starting and ending points. Default value in the linear mode is
%     |(llcorner p,| |lrcorner p)|, where |p| is the operand,
%     meaning that fading starts from the left edge and ends at the right edge.
%     Default value in the circular mode is |(center p,| |center p)|, which means
%     centers of both starting and ending circles are the center of the bounding box.
%   \item [withfadecenter] is a synonym of |withfadevector|.
%   \item [withfaderadius (\meta{numeric}, \meta{numeric})]
%     sets the radii of starting and ending circles. This is no-op in the linear mode.
%     Default value is |(0, abs(center p - urcorner p))|, meaning that fading starts from the
%     center and ends at the four corners of the bounding box.
%   \item [withfadestep (|...|)]
%     for combined fading of more than two opacities.
%   \item [withfadefraction \meta{numeric}]
%     Fractional number of each fading step. Only meaningful within |withfadestep|.
%   \item [withfadeextend (\meta{boolean}, \meta{boolean})]
%     specifies whether to extend the fading
%     beyond the starting and ending points or circles, default value being |(true,| |true)|.
%   \item [withfadematrix \meta{string}]
%     \metapost code for transformation of fading, such as |"xscaled 1.2| |yscaled 0.8"|;
%     or six numerics separated by spaces, such as |"1.2 0 0 0.8 0 0"|.
%   \item [withfadebbox (\meta{pair}, \meta{pair})]
%     sets the bounding box of the fading area, default value being |(llcorner p,| |urcorner p)|.
%     Though this option is not needed in most cases, there could be cases when users want to
%     explicitly control the bounding box.
%     Particularly, see the description \hyperlink{withgroupbbox}{below}
%     at \secref{transparencygroup} on the analogous macro |withgroupbbox|.
%   \end{description}
%   An example:
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig draw btex \includegraphics[width=100bp]{mill} etex withfademethod  "circular" withfaderadius (20, 50) withfadeopacity (1, 0); \endmpfig
%\stopmpfig{3}
%\begin{verbatim}

%      withfaderadius  (20, 50)
%      withfadeopacity (1, 0) ;

% \subsubsection[\cs{mppattern}, \ttfamily withmppattern]{\cs{mppattern\{...\} ...}
%   \cs{endmppattern}, \ttfamily ... withmppattern ...}
%   \label{sec:mppattern}
%   \TeX\ macros
%   \bsx\cs{mppattern}\marg{name}\esx\ |...| \bsx\cs{endmppattern}\esx\ define a tiling pattern cell
%   associated with the \meta{name}.
%   \metapost command |withmppattern|, the syntax being
%   \bsx\meta{cyclic path} \textbar\ \meta{textual picture} |withmppattern| \meta{string}\esx, will fill
%   the given path or text with the tiling pattern cell of the \meta{name}
%   by replicating it horizontally and vertically.\footnote{\relax
%     |withpattern| is an operator virtually the same as |withmppattern|,
%     but the former forces a \metapost picture. Therefore
%     you cannot but use |draw| command with |withpattern| operator.
%     On the other hand,
%     \meta{cyclic path} |withmppattern| \meta{string} works as intended
%     only with |fill| or |filldraw| command.
%   }
%   As said before at \secref{luamplibshading},
%   the \emph{textual picture} here means basically any text typeset by \TeX, mostly the result
%   of the |btex| command (and its derivatives) or the |infont| operator.
%
%   An \hypertarget{firstpatternexample}{example}:
%\begin{verbatim}

%
%   The available options, actually elements of a Lua \emph{table},
%   are listed in Table~\ref{tab:mppatternoptions}.
%   For the sake of convenience, the width and height values of the tiling pattern cell will be written down
%   into the log file (depth is always zero). Users can refer to them for option setting.
%

%   \begin{tabular}{lll}\hline

%   \end{tabular}
%   \end{table}
%
%   As for |matrix| option, \metapost code such as |"rotated 30 slanted .2"| is allowed as well
%   as the string or table of four numbers. You can also set |xshift| and |yshift|
%   values by using `|shifted|' operator. But when |xshift| or |yshift| option is explicitly
%   given, they have precedence over the effect of `|shifted|' operator.
%
%   When you use special effect such as transparency in a pattern cell,
%   |resources| option is needed: for instance, |resources="/ExtGState| |<</MyObj| |5 0 R>>"|.
%   However, as \pkg{luamplib} automatically includes the resources of the current page, this option
%   is not needed in most cases.
%
%   Option \bsx|colored=false|\esx\ (or |coloured=false|) will generate an uncolored pattern cell which
%   shall have no color at all (i.e.\ |withoutcolor| command is needed for \metapost code).\relax
%   \footnote{When using DVI mode, |-c| option might be needed to the |dvipdfmx| command.}
%   Uncolored pattern will be painted later by the color of a \metapost object.
%   An example:

% \subsubsection[\ttfamily asgroup]{\ttfamily ... asgroup ...}\label{sec:transparencygroup}
% As said \hyperlink{metafunformat}{before} at \secref{mplibsetformat},
% transparency group is available with \emph{plain} as well as \emph{metafun}.
% It is called \emph{Transparency Group} because the objects contained in the group are composited
% to produce a single object, so that outer transparency effect, if any,
% will be applied to the group as a whole, not to the individual objects cumulatively.
%
% The syntax is basically the same as \emph{metafun}'s:
% \bsx\meta{picture} \textbar\ \meta{path} |asgroup| \meta{string}\esx, the latter being
% |""| (empty string)
% or any comma-separated combination of |isolated|, |knockout|, |wrapped| and |off|
% (for example, |"isolated,knockout,wrapped"|),
% which will return a \metapost picture.
% The additional features provided by \pkg{luamplib} are:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item As mentioned, in addition to those arguments mimicking \emph{metafun}'s,
%   we allow other optional arguments at the right-hand side:
%   \begin{itemize}
%   \item |asgroup| |"off"| will produce an ordinary \emph{form XObject}
%     rather than a transparency group XObject.
%     By contranst, a transparency group will be produced
%     when `|off|' is not given, including |""| (empty string)
%     in which case both of the PDF keys |/I| and |/K| are |false|.
%   \item |asgroup| |"wrapped"| will produce a transparency group XObject
%     in which an ordinary form XObject is wrapped up.
%     This option could be useful when a picture shading (\emph{shading pattern} in technical terms)
%     is used in the object of |asgroup|.
%     See the note about picture shading described \hyperlink{para:pictureshading}{below}.
%   \end{itemize}
% \item You can reuse the XObject as many times as you want
%   in the \TeX{} code or in other \metapost code chunks,
%   with infinitesimal increase in the size of PDF file.
%   For this functionality we provide \TeX{} and \metapost macros as follows:
% \end{itemize}
% \begin{description}
% \item[withgroupname \meta{string}] associates an XObject with the given name.
%   When this command is not appended to the sentence with |asgroup| operator,
%   the default name `|lastmplibgroup|' will be used.
%
% \item[\textbackslash usemplibgroup\marg{name}]
%   \hypertarget{usemplibgroup}{}\relax
%   is a \TeX\ command to reuse an XObject of the name
%   once used.
%   Note that the position of the XObject will be origin-based:
%   in other words, lower-left corner of the bounding box will be shifted to the origin.
%
% \item[usemplibgroup \meta{string}] is a \metapost command which will add
%   an XObject of the name to the |currentpicture|.
%   Contrary to the \TeX\ command just mentioned,
%   the position of the XObject is the same as the original XObject.
%
% \item[withgroupbbox (\meta{pair}, \meta{pair})]
%   \hypertarget{withgroupbbox}{}\relax
%   sets the bounding box of the XObject,
%   default value being |(llcorner p, urcorner p)|.
%   This option might be needed especially when you draw with a thick pen
%   a path that touches the boundary;
%   you would probably want to append to the sentence
%   `|withgroupbbox| |(bot| |lft| |llcorner| |p,| |top| |rt| |urcorner| |p)|',
%   supposing that the pen was selected by the |pickup| command.
%
% \end{description}

% Also note that normally the XObjects are not affected by outer color commands.

%
% When |asgroup| option is not given or is given as |"off"|,

% Thus the individual objects, not the XObject as a whole, will be affected
% by outer transparency command, just like the first figure
% in the \hyperlink{noasgroupexample}{example} above at \secref{transparencygroup}.
%
% Option |asgroup="wrapped"| can be regarded as a shortcut of double \cs{mplibgroup} command.
% The content will be wrapped up in an ordinary form XObject
% before being wrapped again in a transparency group.
% This option could be useful when a tiling pattern
% (see the example just above)
% or a picture shading
% (see the \hyperlink{doublewrappingexample}{example} above at \secref{transparencygroup})
% is used in the content.
%
% As for the option |asgroup="masking"|, see the next subsection \secref{withmaskinggroup}.
%
% With |colorspace| option,
% which is no-op for ordinary form XObject,
% users can specify the color space of a transparency group.
% For instance, the mplibgroup will be painted in grayscale model
% when |colorspace=|\allowbreak|"/DeviceGray"| is given to an \emph{isolated} transparency group.\relax
% \footnote{Note that some PDF renderers such as Mac OS Preview or Firefox
%   do not render properly this option.}
%
% As shown, you can reuse the mplibgroup
% using the \TeX\ command \cs{usemplibgroup} or
% the \metapost command |usemplibgroup|.
% The behavior of these commands is the same as that described \hyperlink{usemplibgroup}{above}
% at \secref{transparencygroup},
% excepting that the mplibgroup made by \TeX\ code (not by \metapost code) respects original height and depth.
%
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily withmaskinggroup]{\ttfamily ... withmaskinggroup ...}
%   \label{sec:withmaskinggroup}
% Using this command,
% the mplibgroup (see above \secref{mplibgroupendmplibgroup})
% generated by the option \bsx|asgroup=|\allowbreak|"masking"|\esx\ (see Table~\ref{tab:mplibgroupoptions})
% can be utilized as a masking transparency group upon a picture or a path object.
% The syntax is \bsx\meta{picture} \textbar\ \meta{path} |withmaskinggroup| \meta{string}\esx,
% the latter being the name of a pre-defined masking group.
%
% Basically, the masking group should be prepared in \emph{grayscale} color model:
% the area painted with |1| ($\approx$ white: full luminosity) will preserve
% the full color of the object;
% the area painted with |0| ($\approx$ black: zero luminosity) will force
% full transparency, masking it invisibly.\relax
%   \footnote{In fact, colors in other color models are also allowed
%     (such as |white|, |black|, |red|, |green|, |blue|).
%     But they will be converted to grayscale model by the PDF renderer, so that
%     |"/DeviceGray"| is the default value of |colorspace| option to a masking transparency group
%     (see Table~\ref{tab:mplibgroupoptions} at \secref{mplibgroupendmplibgroup}). }
%
% By default, the background color of a masking group is |0| ($\approx$ black),
% which you can change by this macro:
% \begin{description}
% \item[withmaskingbgcolor \meta{color expr}] sets the background color of the masking group.
%   |0| denotes full transparency (masking invisibly); |1|, full color.\relax
%   \footnote{Color expressions in rgb or cmyk model are also allowed,
%     in accordance with the option |colorspace=|\allowbreak|"/DeviceRGB"|
%     or |colorspace=|\allowbreak|"/DeviceCMYK"| given to the masking transparency group.
%     This however we do not recommend as the luminosity is difficult to understand intuitively. }

% \subsubsection{Free-form Gouraud-shaded triangle mesh shading}\label{sec:trianglemesh}
% The syntax of this type of shading is \bsx\meta{path} \textbar\ \meta{textual picture}
% |withshadingmethod| |"triangle"|\esx,
% as the area to be shaded is defined by a series of triangles.
% Among a number of optional macros for shading, only |withshadingmatrix| and |withshadingstroke|
% are available (see above \secref{luamplibshading}).
%
% Optional macros for triangle mesh shading:
% \begin{description}
% \item[withtrianglepatchinit (\meta{path} \textbar\ \meta{string},
%   \meta{color}, \meta{color}, \meta{color})]
%   The initial triangle.
%
%   The first argument shall be a path that has three (or more) vertices,
%   or a string composed of six numerics separated by spaces
%   ($x$ and $y$ coordinates at each point).
%   When this macro is not given, the default path value will be the object of shading.
%
%   Remaining arguments are three colors for each vertex in the order of the points.
%   When this macro is not given, the default color values will be |red|, |green|, and |blue|.
%
% \item[withtrianglepatchnext (\meta{number}, \meta{pair} \textbar\ \meta{string}, \meta{color})]
%   The new triangle attached to the previous one.
%   This optional macro requires |withtrianglepatchinit| specified beforehand.
%
%   The first argument shall be a number (|1| or |2|)
%   denoting the edge to which a new triangle will be attached.
%   Edge |1| is the last explicit segment of the previous triangle;
%   edge |2| is the implicit segment of the previous triangle.
%
%   For specifying a new vertex which determines the next triangle, the second argument
%   shall be a pair, or a string of two numerics separated by a space ($x$ and $y$ coordinates).
%
%   The third argument is the color for the new vertex.

% \subsubsection{Coons patch mesh shading}\label{sec:coonspatchmesh}
%
% Coons patch mesh shadings are constructed from one or more color patches,
% each bounded by four cubic Bézier curves.
% The syntax is \bsx\meta{path} \textbar\ \meta{textual picture} |withshadingmethod| |"coons"|\esx.
% Among a number of optional macros for shading, only |withshadingmatrix| and |withshadingstroke|
% are available (see above \secref{luamplibshading}).
%
% Optional macros for Coons patch mesh shading:
% \begin{description}
% \item[withcoonspatchinit (\meta{path} \textbar\ \meta{string},
%   \meta{color}, \meta{color}, \meta{color}, \meta{color})]
%   The initial patch.
%
%   The first argument shall be a closed path that has four vertices,
%   or a string composed of twenty-four numerics separated by spaces
%   (|xpart| |point| |0| |of| |p|, |ypart| |point| |0| |of| |p|, |...|,
%   |xpart| |precontrol| |0| |of| |p|, |ypart| |precontrol| |0| |of| |p|).
%   When this macro is not given, the default path value will be obtained
%   from the object of shading.
%
%   Remaining arguments are four colors for each vertex in the order of the points.
%   When this macro is not given,
%   the default color values will be |red|, |green|, |blue|, and |yellow|.
%
% \item[withcoonspatchnext (\meta{number}, \meta{path} \textbar\ \meta{string},
%   \meta{color}, \meta{color})]
%   The new patch attached to the previous one.
%   This optional macro requires |withcoonspatchinit| specified beforehand.
%
%   The first argument shall be a number (|1|, |2|, or |3|)
%   denoting the previous patch's edge a new patch will be attached to.
%   For instance, edge |1| is the segment between point |1| and point |2| of the previous patch.
%
%   The second argument shall be a path that has four vertices,
%   or a string of sixteen numerics separated by spaces
%   (|xpart| |postcontrol| |1| |of| |p|, |ypart| |postcontrol| |1| |of| |p|, |...|,
%   |xpart| |precontrol| |0| |of| |p|, |ypart| |precontrol| |0| |of| |p|).
%   The orientation of the new path should be reversed from the previous one, and
%   it is assumed that the first segment of the new path coincides with the edge segment
%   just mentioned.
%
%   Remaining arguments are two color expressions for the new vertices.

% This type is almost identical to the Coons patch mesh shading, except that

% to adjust the color mapping.
% The syntax is \bsx\meta{path} \textbar\ \meta{textual picture} |withshadingmethod| |"tensor"|\esx.
% Among a number of optional macros for shading, only |withshadingmatrix| and |withshadingstroke|
% are available (see above \secref{luamplibshading}).
%
% Optional macros for tensor-product patch mesh shading:
% \begin{description}
% \item[withtensorpatchinit (\meta{path} \textbar\ \meta{string},
%   \meta{path} \textbar\ \meta{string}, \meta{color}, \meta{color}, \meta{color}, \meta{color})]
%   The initial patch.
%
%   The only difference to |withcoonspatchinit| macro of Coons patch shading is the second argument
%   inserted for specifying four inner control points.
%   It shall be a path that has four points, or a string composed of eight numerics separated
%   by spaces ($x$ and $y$ coordinates of each point).
%   If the first argument is given in string type,
%   the second argument should also be given in string type.
%   It is assumed that the orientation of the inner path is the same as the outer path.
%   When this macro is not given, the default value will be an imaginary path
%   scaled by half the size of the outer path obtained from the object of shading.
%
% \item[withtensorpatchnext (\meta{number}, \meta{path} \textbar\ \meta{string},
%   \meta{path} \textbar\ \meta{string}, \meta{color}, \meta{color})]
%   The new patch attached to the previous one.
%   This optional macro requires |withtensorpatchinit| specified beforehand.
%
%   The only difference to |withcoonspatchnext| macro of Coons patch shading is the third argument

% \subsection{Lua}
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily runscript]{\ttfamily runscript ...}
%   A good many \metapost macros described in this documentation have been implemented
%   using the primitive |runscript|.
%   With \bsx|runscript| \meta{string}\esx, you can run a Lua code chunk from \metapost side
%   and get some \metapost code returned by Lua if you want.
%   As the functionality is provided by the \mplib library itself,
%   \pkg{luamplib} does not have much to say about it.
%
%   One thing is worth mentioning, however:
%   if you return a Lua \emph{table} to the \metapost process,
%   it is automatically converted to a relevant \metapost data type
%   such as pair, color, cmykcolor or transform.
%   So users can save some extra toil of converting a table to a string, though it's not a big deal.
%   For instance, |runscript| |"return {1,0,0}"| will give you the \metapost color expression |(1,0,0)|
%   automatically.
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily luamplib.instances]{Lua table \ttfamily luamplib.instances}
%   \label{sec:luamplibinstances}
%   Users can access the Lua table containing \mplib instances, |luamplib.instances|,
%   through which \metapost variables are also easily accessible from Lua side,
%   as documented in Lua\TeX{} manual \S\,11.2.8.4 (|texdoc luatex|).
%   The following example will print |false|, |3.0|, |MetaPost| and
%   the knots and the cyclicity of the path |unitsquare|.
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \begin{mplibcode}[myinstance]
%      boolean b; b = 1 > 2;
%      numeric n; n = 3;
%      string s;  s = "MetaPost";
%      path p;    p = unitsquare;
%    \end{mplibcode}
%
%    \directlua{
%      local myinstance = luamplib.instances.myinstance
%      print( myinstance:get_boolean "b" )
%      print( myinstance:get_numeric "n" )
%      print( myinstance:get_string  "s" )
%      local t = myinstance:get_path "p"
%      for k,v in pairs(t) do
%        print(k, type(v)=='table' and table.concat(v,' ') or v)
%      end
%    }
%\end{verbatim}
%   Of course, this sort of Lua code can also be run inside \metapost code using |runscript|
%   command.
%   Again, of course you can access a \metapost variable using your own \TeX\ macro. For example:
%\startmpfig
%\mpfig* numeric n; n = 3;\endmpfig
%\def\mpnumeric#1#2{\directlua{tex.sprint(tostring(luamplib.instances["#1"]:get_numeric"#2"))}}
%\mpnumeric{@mpfig}{n}\relax
%\stopmpfig{4}
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \def\mpnumeric#1#2{\directlua{
%      tex.sprint(tostring(luamplib.instances["#1"]:get_numeric"#2"))
%    }}
%    \mpnumeric{myinstance}{n}\relax
%\end{verbatim}
%
% \subsubsection[\ttfamily luamplib.process\_mplibcode]{Lua function \ttfamily luamplib.process\_mplibcode}
%   Users can run a \metapost code chunk from Lua side by using this function:
%\begin{verbatim}
%    luamplib.process_mplibcode (<string> metapost code, <string> instance name)
%\end{verbatim}
%
%   The second argument cannot be absent, but can be an empty string (|""|) which
%   means that it has no instance name.
%
%   Some other elements in the |luamplib| namespace, listed in Table~\ref{tab:elementsinluamplib},

%
%   As for the third argument, see above Table~\ref{tab:mppatternoptions}.

%\begin{verbatim}
%    luamplib.registergroup (<number> box register, <string> group name, <table> options)
%\end{verbatim}
%
%   The first argument is the register of a box prepared in advance by the user.
%   When the contents of the box have been generated from \TeX\ (not \metapost) code,
%   please make sure that both of the \TeX\ macros `|MPllx|' and `|MPlly|' are defined as `|0|'
%   before invoking the Lua function.\footnote{\relax
%     In DVI mode, \TeX\ macro `|mplibgroupname|' also should be set as \meta{group name} before

%
%   As for the third argument, see above Table~\ref{tab:mplibgroupoptions}.
%   The argument cannot be absent, but can be an empty table, i.e.\ |{ }|.

% {\bf\large Preamble}
% \end{center}
%
%
% The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
% share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
% intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software---to
% make sure the software is free for all its users.  This General Public
% License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to
% any other program whose authors commit to using it.  (Some other Free
% Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public
% License instead.)  You can apply it to your programs, too.
%
% When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.
% Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the
% freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service
% if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it,
% that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs;
% and that you know you can do these things.
%
% To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to
% deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.  These
% restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
% distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
%
% For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or
% for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have.  You
% must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.  And
% you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
%
% We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
% offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
% distribute and/or modify the software.
%
% Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
% everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software.  If
% the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its
% recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any
% problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'
% reputations.
%
% Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.
% We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
% individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
% proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must
% be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
%
% The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
% modification follow.
%
% \begin{center}
% {\Large \sc Terms and Conditions For Copying, Distribution and
%   Modification}
% \end{center}
%
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item
% This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
% placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the
% terms of this General Public License.  The ``Program'', below, refers to
% any such program or work, and a ``work based on the Program'' means either
% the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
% work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
% modifications and/or translated into another language.  (Hereinafter,
% translation is included without limitation in the term ``modification''.)
% Each licensee is addressed as ``you''.
%
% Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
% covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
% running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
% is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
% Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
% Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
%
% \item You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
%   code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
%   and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice
%   and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to
%   this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
%   recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
%
% You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you
% may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
%
% \item
% You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
% of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
% distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
% above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
%
% \begin{enumerate}
%
% \item
% You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
% you changed the files and the date of any change.
%
% \item
% You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
% whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
% part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
% parties under the terms of this License.
%
% \item
% If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
% when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
% interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
% announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
% notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
% a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
% these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
% License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
% does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
% the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
%
% \end{enumerate}
%
%
% These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
% identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
% and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
% themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
% sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
% distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
% on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
% this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
% entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
%
% Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
% your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
% exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
% collective works based on the Program.
%
% In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
% with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
% a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
% the scope of this License.
%
% \item
% You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
% under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
% Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
%
% \begin{enumerate}
%
% \item
%
% Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
% source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
% 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
%
% \item
%
% Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
% years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
% cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
% machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
% distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
% customarily used for software interchange; or,
%
% \item
%
% Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
% to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
% allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
% received the program in object code or executable form with such
% an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
%
% \end{enumerate}
%
%
% The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
% making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
% code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
% associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
% control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
% special exception, the source code distributed need not include
% anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
% form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
% operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
% itself accompanies the executable.
%
% If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
% access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
% access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
% distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
% compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
%
% \item
% You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
% except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
% otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
% void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
% However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
% this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
% parties remain in full compliance.
%
% \item
% You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
% signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
% distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
% prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
% modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
% Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
% all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
% the Program or works based on it.
%
% \item
% Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
% Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
% original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
% these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
% restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
% You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
% this License.
%
% \item
% If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
% infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
% conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
% otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
% excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
% distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
% License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
% may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
% license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
% all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
% the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
% refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
%
% If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
% any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
% apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
% circumstances.
%
% It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
% patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
% such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
% integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
% implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
% generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
% through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
% system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
% to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
% impose that choice.
%
% This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
% be a consequence of the rest of this License.
%
% \item
% If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
% certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
% original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
% may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
% those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
% countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
% the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
%
% \item
% The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
% of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
% be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
% address new problems or concerns.
%
% Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
% specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and ``any
% later version'', you have the option of following the terms and conditions
% either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
% Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
% this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
% Foundation.
%
% \item
% If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
% programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
% to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
% Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
% make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
% of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
% of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
%
% \begin{center}
% {\Large\sc
% No Warranty
% }
% \end{center}
%
% \item
% {\sc Because the program is licensed free of charge, there is no warranty
% for the program, to the extent permitted by applicable law.  Except when
% otherwise stated in writing the copyright holders and/or other parties
% provide the program ``as is'' without warranty of any kind, either expressed
% or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of

%
% \item
% {\sc In no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing

% \section*{Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs}
%
% If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
% possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
% free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
% terms.
%
%   To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to
%   attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
%   the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
%   ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
%
% \begin{quote}
% one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does. \\
% Copyright (C) yyyy  name of author \\
%
% This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
% it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
% the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
% (at your option) any later version.
%
% This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
% but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
% MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
% GNU General Public License for more details.
%
% You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
% along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
% Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301, USA.
% \end{quote}
%
% Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
%
% If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
% when it starts in an interactive mode:
%
% \begin{quote}
% Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) yyyy  name of author \\
% Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. \\
% This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
% under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
% \end{quote}
%
%
% The hypothetical commands {\tt show w} and {\tt show c} should show the
% appropriate parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands
% you use may be called something other than {\tt show w} and {\tt show c};
% they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items---whatever suits your
% program.
%
% You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
% school, if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if
% necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
%
% \begin{quote}
% Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program \\
% `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. \\
%
% signature of Ty Coon, 1 April 1989 \\
% Ty Coon, President of Vice
% \end{quote}
%
%
% This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
% into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
% may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications
% with the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library
% General Public License instead of this License.
