Hi, The recently added Metafun hexagons seem to be producing octagons instead: \startMPpage fill fullhexagon scaled 100; draw unithexagon scaled 50 withcolor white; \stopMPpage -- Max

Of course, for an MP circle is defined by 8 points. draw textext(decimal length unitcircle) ; Alan

draw textext(decimal length unitcircle) ; i'll change it to octagon (was only used for some envelope tracing experiment)

\startMPcode fullhexagon := for i=0 upto 5 : .5dir(60i) -- endfor cycle ; unithexagon := fullhexagon shifted (.5,.5) ; draw fullhexagon scaled 1cm ; draw unithexagon scaled 1cm withcolor red ; draw unitcircle scaled 1cm withcolor red ; draw fullcircle scaled 1cm ; \stopMPcode
