In particular, there are a few things that I currently see as "missing" in (plain) MetaPost (and which I couldn't find in MetaFun either); for example, there is no macro that allows to "add" drawoptions; you can only replace them altogether. PSTricks, OTOH (at least for what I could see) has a default color, pensize and line style which can be changed singularly (MetaPost seems to only do this for the pen --currentpen; it doesn't have a currentcolor or currentstyle).

Do you mean something like in the attached files? keyvalmp.mp : package for key-value parameters in MP; used in mpt-conf.mp (BTW, if anybody knows a better way to implement this, please let me know)

nice example of expansion and redefinition of symbols about this picture key/val problem: how about passing it as string, say SomePic=pic("picture stuff") Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
