Hello Fermin,

I'm trying to get some special effects using Metafun. The idea is to get slightly different letterheads from run to run of texexec.

you might want to have a look at my reference sheet for emacs (especially the highlight section), which you can find at http://levana.de/context/ or directly (hope to get no typos here) http://levana.de/context/refcard/refcard-layout.tex

There are also probably some examples in the metafun manual.

You don't have to set the randomseed directly. Only if you want to reproduce the exact numbers you get from uniformdeviate and alike.

indeed, actually, context sets the randomseed for each run (because the mp randomseed is similar within a minute timespan), so there is no need to manually Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
