Re: Fwd: Re: text width shadow background

I played about with the number of shadow layers and added a wee bit randomness which gave a nice effect. See the code below and the attached png.
Good idea, makes sense for big text – my captions are only 8pt, there 10 layers are already a lot, and the randomness doesn’t make a difference. For titles, it would be nice to apply lmt_poisson to arbitrary paths. I wonder what’s possible if we don’t _draw_ lmt_outline but use it as a base for more fun… Hraban
Hraban (and others), You got me thinking so I added this code to end of your code as a bit of fun. It's code from the luametafun manual to which I added two and a half lines.

That’s funny. I replaced the text by \TeX and published it here: https://fosstodon.org/@context/110684919994406565 But is it possible to fill a path (e.g. an lmt_outline) with a lmt_poisson pattern? Hraban

Well this is fun. Getting the right patterns could make some interesting with fonts. Thanks for the tip Hans!

so the trick is to come up with a pattern that has the right size
