Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\useMPlibrary[txt]
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{followtokens} path RotPath ; RotPath := reverse halfcircle ; % path RotPath ; RotPath := halfcircle rotatedaround (origin, 180) ; \stopuseMPgraphic
\followtokens{Just follow the tokens} \stoptext
How can I get both paths (in diverse directions)?
I would like to repeat the same text twice, separating both sentences with a character.
I have to ask this, beause MetaPost is all Greek to me. i have no clue what you mean but this will change the direction
Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
I attach an image of what I mean.
I want a full circle in two halves with the same duplicated sentence. The first one written clockwise and the second one written counterclockwise (as in the commented path above).
I hope it is clearer now.
path p ; p := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm ; path q ; q := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm rotated 180 ; path q ; q := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm rotated 180 ; \followtokens{~this way~} \followtokens{\reversedtext{~this way~}} we will have this in metafun: followtext("this way",p) ; so that one can do it all in mp ... a nice gimmick for the ctx meeting Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
