paging through the manuals, Metafun seems easier than MetaPost.
I think it will take me a while to understand the basics of it.
Metafun is an extension to MetaPost, providing some useful tools and improving on some "standard" MetaPost macros. But it *is* MetaPost, and the basic syntax is unchanged.
Perhaps you are praising the MetaFun manual - that would please Hans as he has put a lot of effort into this documentation.
The Metafun manual is much clearer (way than the MetaPost manual) for a newbie such as me. I must confess that I don’t have the background to understand it, either in math, or in coding. But the manual makes me wonder how could I get some of the graphics shown there.
P.S. MetaFun/MetaPost tends to grow upon you. I learn new things every day, and am constantly in awe...
I have to learn a lot about ConTeXt and Lua before. And I agree with you, it is addictive even for an ignorant such as myself. I have another question (for a new thread). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
