Description-en: OCaml interface to Metapost (command-line tool)
Mlpost is an OCaml library for scientific drawing. It relies on
Metapost, giving the possibility to include (La)TeX fragments.
Mlpost users can use the full power of OCaml to generate their
diagrams, including static typing and the possibility to use any
OCaml library. Moreover, Mlpost promotes a declarative style quite
different from existing tools.
