I saved the above as Paradoxical_decomposition_F2.mp, and the following LaTeX program as Paradoxical_decomposition_F2.tex:

%&latex
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
 \usepackage{graphicx}
 \pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
 \includegraphics{Paradoxical_decomposition_F2.1}
\end{document}

I then ran the following commands:

mpost Paradoxical_decomposition_F2
tex Paradoxical_decomposition_F2
dvips -mode ljfzzz -D 1200 Paradoxical_decomposition_F2 -o
convert -density 1200 Paradoxical_decomposition_F2.ps Paradoxical_decomposition_F2.pnm
