Taco Hoekwater: Integrating the pool file (English), MAPS 35, 2007, 9-10
keywords: luatex, metapost, string pool, programming
abstract: This short article discusses the method that is used in Metapost and luatex to integrate the string pool file into the program. This method allows the redistribution of a single updated executable in place of both a program and a data file, and this makes updating those programs easier on both the user and the developer.

Willi Egger: PDF / Tikz (English), MAPS 35, 2007, 11-17
keywords: graphics language, LaTeX, ConTeXt
abstract: For those who are looking for an alternative for external graphic drawing tools, PGF / TikZ offers a wealth of possibilities. PGF is a macro-package that, together with its user interface TikZ, comprises a kind of `graphics language' to build graphics inside the text as inline graphics or as pictures of larger size. PGF is a macro-package originally written for LaTeX. In the meantime it is also available for use within ConTeXt. The package comes with a large set of libraries for different kinds of graphics. There is extensive documentation and a tutorial. For support a mailing list and web-site are available. Users of the package with ConTeXt have to install the xkeyval package version 1.8. PGF and TikZ are distributed under the GNU Public License version 2.

Richard Hirsch: Folding Sheets for a Modular Origami Dodecalendar (English), MAPS 35, 2007, 30-36
keywords: metapost, tutorial
abstract: Twelve square sheets of paper can be folded in such a way that they can be assembled to a pentagon dodecahedron (origami). The single units are called modules, hence the name modular. If the sheets bear calendrical information at the right places, the dodecahedron shows the calendar for each month on its faces: the dodecalendar. In this article we let MetaPost calculate piece by piece the information that needs to be printed on the module paper to enable us to fold the modules and assemble the dodecahedron.
