Re: [NTG-context] Fuzzy lines

Hi Mikael, thank you, there are some interesting ideas. We have already seen a lot of randomization in paths; duplicating a randomized path with varying saturation enhances the effect. With PGF/TikZ I could maybe use a brush decoration on a path. Is it possible to use a irregular "pen" in MetaPost? With transparency? The MF manual says in 1.11, pens are limited, but not how. Or are properties (MF manual 8.10) the way to go? Hraban

is it possible to get lines with Metapost that look like they were drawn with a pencil or brush?

Some vector graphics apps (in my case: Affinity Designer) can use such naturally looking brushes for vector graphics (and I don’t know how they do it), but I’d like to automate/parametrize some designs, and that would finally be a reason to learn Metapost...
