Re: [NTG-context] simplifying repeated macro calls in metafun

Hi Aditya, Thanks for the detailed file you sent to answer Dalyoung’s question and file. And going through both files I have a question. I see that both of you use a function « whatever » (but is it a function ?): what does this do and where can it be used (actually I have seen Hans using this expression, but I had always thought this is just a name… Best regards: Otared

Hi,

I defined a macro definition in metafun, and draw figures using \startbuffer[] … \stopbuffer and \processMPbuffer[]. As you see in the attached code, the same macro definition is used repeatedly by changing the numeric argument. Is there a better way to simplify the code, for example, using \dorecurse and recurselevel?

See attached. The main idea is to store the repetitive bits in \startuseMPgraphic{...} and then reuse them using \includeMPgraphic.
