Hi, I get sometimes the wrong directionpoint. In the example below it works for all values of direx except between 0 and 90. If I put direx to something in this interval, it seems that the point between cs and cl are chosen.
Is there a better way to construct the paths not to get this problem? Or some other way out? /Mikael \starttext \startMPpage[offset=3bp] u:=1cm; path cl,cs,rl,p[]; z0 = (0,6/sqrt(3)*u); z1 = z0 rotated 120; cs := (fullcircle scaled 16u) shifted z1; cs := cs cutafter point 1/6 along cs; cl := (fullcircle scaled 4u) shifted z0; cl := cl cutbefore point 1/6 along cl cutafter point 2/6 along cl; p[0] = cs .. cl .. (cs rotated 120) .. (cl rotated 120) .. (cs rotated 240) .. (cl rotated 240) .. cycle; draw p[0]; drawarrow cs withcolor darkblue; drawarrow cl withcolor darkred; direx=300; z11=directionpoint dir(direx) of p[0]; drawarrow ((-u,0)--(u,0)) rotated direx shifted z11; \stopMPpage \stoptext ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
