about names:

how about

t-luageo.lmt t-luageo.mpxl

so that one knows what comes with the module (we do the same with s-* modules)

"t-luageo.lmt" is fine, but "t-luageo.mpxl" breaks the module. I think the line

\startMPdefinitions loadmodule "luageo" ; \stopMPdefinitions

finds “mp-luageo” but not “t-luageo”. Changing the line to "loadmodule “t-luageo” does not work either.

so how about mp-t-luageo

and you can add the example to the end of the module

Done.

Also, we do have a strange artifact, at least when I run this code. There is a line running across Brazil:

i'm not sure where that comes from (you can try &&&)

I will use &&& in my upcoming module, t-discoworld.

(Drawn with eofill, for maximum grooviness.)

Is there a place I can read about disconnected paths, &&&&, and &&&? These are totally unfamiliar to me. at some point in the luametafun manual and they are probabaly mentioned in some docs that describe development

it's anyway something introduced last year, so kind of new Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
