ok, i fixed it; was a bug in the rline to handler in concat mode
Great, thanks for that.
btw, your graphic contains 90% junk ps (covered by successive draws), maybe some picture magic without picture resets
Indeed, I was surprised by the length of the mps file. Oh, it just
hit me the reason for all the junk ps. It is my 'thinko', so thanks
for pointing me to the problem.
I meant to draw the rotated picture of one triangle six times.
Instead I rotated the currentpicture and drew it on the
currentpicture, so I ended up with 2^6 triangles -- with most of the
code overlapping. It looked right so I didn't think about it enough.
What I had:
currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (-z1) scaled 0.7;
for i = 1 upto 6:
% this line causes the doubling each time
draw currentpicture rotated (60*i);
endfor
Instead, what I should do to avoid the overlapping:
currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (-z1) scaled 0.7;
tpic := currentpicture
for i = 1 upto 5: % i=6 redraws the original one
draw tpic rotated (60*i);
endfor
For those curious about the math behind the picture: The picture
solves the problem of "how do you bisect an equilateral triangle [into
two equal areas] using the shortest path?"
