No challenge for MP ... m. PS: for the curious, that is what defined the picture: instrument("text example", 99, 9, -1); interim defaultscale:=3.34; arctext("FlightGear's friend MetaPost can also set text along a path! -", 60u, 90, green); interim defaultscale:=4.1; arctext("no need for manual Gimp work -", 40u, 180, red); interim defaultscale:=3; pathtext("FlightGear Simulator", reverse fullcircle scaled 180u rotated 25 xscaled -1, blue); path p; p=(-70u,70u){dir -30}..(80u,60u){dir -65}..(50u,-70u){dir -135}..{dir 180}(-70u,-70u); pathtext("... and your paths don't even need to be circles. Any shape will do. :-P", p, (1,0,1)); endinstrument; _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
