This is what is displayed by showvariable. Maybe it can't be changed?

There is a standard library of objects and many examples are given. metaobj more or less implements all the node connection functions from PSTricks, its many options, trees, matrices, etc. Have fun!

I've read the manual yesterday and it's quite impressive. I've just hacked a little metapost library myself but will probably change it to use metaobj primitives. Thanks for the work!
