Hi, As I'm still in metafun (and svg) mode I decided to support patterns (that are already supported at the tex end) also in metafun. As there has never been demands I suppose it's not that interesting but it sort of fits in. There are some tricky aspectx involved so the interface might evolve a bit (some more control options) but here are some examples anyway: \starttext \startMPpage[offset=1cm] draw (fullcircle scaled 5cm shifted (0cm,0cm)) withpattern image (fill fullcircle scaled 1cm withcolor "darkblue" ;) withpatternscale (1/10,1/10) ; draw (fullcircle scaled 5cm shifted (5cm,0cm)) withpattern image (fill fullcircle scaled 5mm withcolor "darkred" ;) withpatternscale (1/20,1/20) ; draw (fullcircle scaled 5cm shifted (10cm,0cm)) withpattern image (fill fullcircle scaled 5mm withcolor "darkgreen" ;) withpatternscale (1/40,1/40) ; draw (fullcircle scaled 5cm shifted (0cm,5cm)) withpattern image (fill fullcircle scaled 1cm withcolor "darkcyan" ;) withpatternscale (1/10,1/20) ; draw (fullcircle scaled 5cm shifted (5cm,5cm)) withpattern image (fill fullcircle scaled 5mm withcolor "darkmagenta" ;) withpatternscale (1/20,1/40) ; draw (fullcircle scaled 5cm shifted (10cm,5cm)) withpattern image (fill fullcircle scaled 5mm withcolor "darkyellow" ;) withpatternscale (1/40,1/80) ; \stopMPpage \startMPpage[offset=1cm] fill fullcircle scaled 11cm withcolor "darkyellow" ; draw fullcircle scaled 10cm withpattern image (fill fullcircle scaled 1cm withcolor "darkblue" ;) ; draw fulldiamond scaled 8cm withpattern image (fill fulldiamond scaled 4mm withcolor "darkgreen" ;) rotated 15 ; draw fulltriangle scaled 9cm withpattern image (fill fulltriangle scaled 3mm withcolor "white" ;) rotated 45 ; draw fullcircle scaled 10cm withpattern image (draw textext("!") withcolor "middlegray" ;) rotated 45 ; draw fullcircle scaled 10cm withpen pencircle scaled 1mm withcolor "darkgray" ; \stopMPpage \startMPpage[instance=doublefun] draw closedcurve(unitsquare xyscaled (200,200) shifted (0,-200)) withpattern image (fill closedcurve((fullcircle scaled 40 shifted (25,-25))) withcolor "darkgray" withopacity .5) withpatternscale (1,1) ; draw closedcurve(unitsquare xyscaled (200,200) shifted (0,-200)) withpattern image (fill closedcurve((fullcircle scaled 40 shifted (25,-25))) withcolor "darkred" withopacity .5) withpatternscale (1/2,1/2) ; draw closedcurve(unitsquare xyscaled (200,200) shifted (0,-200)) withpattern image (fill closedcurve((fullcircle scaled 40 shifted (25,-25))) withcolor "darkgreen" withopacity .5) withpatternscale (1/3,1/3) ; draw closedcurve(unitsquare xyscaled (200,200) shifted (0,-200)) withpattern image (fill closedcurve((fullcircle scaled 40 shifted (25,-25))) withcolor "darkblue" withopacity .5) withpatternscale (1/4,1/4) ; \stopMPpage % \startTEXpage \page \startMPcode{doublefun} draw closedcurve(unitsquare xyscaled (200,200) shifted (0,-400)) withpattern image (fill closedcurve((fullcircle scaled 40 shifted (25,-25)))) withpatternscale (1/8,1/8) ; \stopMPcode \blank \startMPcode{doublefun} draw closedcurve(unitsquare xyscaled (200,200) shifted (0,-400)) withpattern image (fill closedcurve((fullcircle scaled 40 shifted (25,-25)))) withpatternfloat true withpatternscale (1/8,1/8) ; \stopMPcode \page % \stopTEXpage % \startMPpage[instance=doublefun] % draw closedcurve(unitsquare xyscaled (200,200) shifted (0,-200)) % withpattern image ( fill closedcurve(unitsquare xyscaled (50,50) shifted (0,-50)) withcolor svgcolor(0.529,0.808,0.922) ; fill closedcurve(unitsquare xyscaled (25,25) shifted (0,-25)) withshademethod "linear" % withshadecenteronefraction (0,1) % withshadecentertwofraction (0,0) % withshadestep ( withshadefraction 0.05 withshadecolors (svgcolor(1,0,0),svgcolor(1,0,0)) ) % withshadestep ( withshadefraction 0.95 withshadecolors (svgcolor(1,0,0),svgcolor(1,0.5,0)) ) ; fill closedcurve((fullcircle scaled 40 shifted (25,-25))) withshademethod "linear" % withshadestep ( withshadefraction 0.05 withshadecolors (svggray(1),svggray(1)) ) % withshadestep ( withshadefraction 0.95 withshadecolors (svggray(1),svgcolor(0,0,1)) ) withopacity 0.5 ; ) % withpatternscale(1/4,1/4) % ; % \stopMPpage % \startTEXpage % \externalfigure[test.svg][conversion=mp,xobject=no] % \stopTEXpage \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
