1. How do I avoid redrawing diagrams with every typeset? The globe above takes about 0.7s, which is not bad, but it adds up in a book with many diagrams.
\startbuffer[demo] \usemodule [luageo] \startMPpage GlobeDiameter = 10cm ; fill fullcircle scaled GlobeDiameter withcolor .9white ; % Fill a circle with the water color. drawglobe(23, 0) scaled GlobeDiameter withcolor .75white ;% Draw the land. draw fullcircle scaled GlobeDiameter withcolor black ; % Add a border, if you want. \stopMPpage \stopbuffer \typesetbuffer[demo]
2. How do I organize this according to TDS for sharing? I know what TDS is and why it’s important, but that’s about it!
Hraban will guide you here.
3. Should I be creating a namespace for this module, or launching a separate MetaFun instance? I have a general sense of what “namespace” and “instance” mean is this context, but I don’t know the consequences or the how-to. If the code is robust there is no need for an instance.
