Re: [NTG-context] Fuzzy lines

For simple pens, you may define your own (section 9.7 of MetaPost manual). For complicated strokes, something along these lines could be useful as a starting point (I'm not taking cyclic paths in consideration, btw). I did something similar with duck footprints some weeks ago: %Sorry for the ugly code... \starttext \startMPpage %Unit size numeric u; u := 1mm; %In a picture you are able to include everything, kinda picture Pluma; Pluma := image( for i = 1 upto 5: for j = 1 upto 5: draw (i,j) randomized 1; endfor endfor ); %Simple curve path Camino; Camino := origin for i = 1 upto 30: .. (u*i, u*sind (12i mod 360)) endfor; %Strokes for i = 0 step 1/2 until length Camino: draw Pluma rotated (90 + angle direction i of Camino) shifted point i of Camino; endfor \stopMPpage \stoptext Not sure if that's what you need...

Hi!

Not really what you ask for, perhaps, but this could be interesting for you: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/39296/52406

Hi MetaFans,

is it possible to get lines with Metapost that look like they were drawn

with a pencil or brush?

...

Some vector graphics apps (in my case: Affinity Designer) can use such

naturally looking brushes for vector graphics (and I don’t know how they do it), but I’d like to automate/parametrize some designs, and that would finally be a reason to learn Metapost...
