While I can get the desired result which a filled path I'm looking for a
solution where I have to set fewer control points.
Draw the paths two grid squares sorter and at each end draw a “dot” which is a
triangle of the right direction and shading?
So your first line
draw (1,7) -- (7,7) ;
becomes
triangle_dot_bottom_right_fill (1,7) ; draw (2,6) ;
triangle_dot_bottom_left_fill (7,7) ;
If there are load of them then it might be easier to write a macro to walk the
(1,7) — (7,7) path and insert “dots” at the changes of direction.
I had this in my mind but wasn't sure if this is the best solution.
Using a macro to create the line is a must here but I have to think how
to set which delimiters for the line should be used (using different
macros for each variation or passing the shape as argument).
BTW: Use && to connect the parts of the line to avoid graphical errors
in your pdf viewer.
\startMPpage[offset=1pt]
pickup pensquare scaled 1 ;
draw (0,0) ;
draw (1,0) ;
draw (0,2) && (1,2) ;
\stopMPpage
