ok, then I have to solve it in another way, and that leads me to another problem: I have two circles a:= fullcircle sized 1.1; and b:= fullcircle sized 1.4; how can I fill the area between the inner (a) and the outer (b) circle with a color?? so that the inner circle stays transparent. I think this is something simple but I didn't found an example for that.
well, if you are prepared for a puzzling solution: % output=pdftex \starttext \setupcolors[state=start] \startMPpage fill fullsquare rotated 45 scaled 4cm withcolor red ; fill fullcircle scaled 4cm -- reverse fullcircle scaled 3cm -- cycle ; \stopMPpage \stoptext (side effect: a reverse path does an unfill in ps/pdf) (I'll add this trick to the metafun manual) 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
