Hi
Is it possible to fill out a space between two outlines?
As for an example, I'd like to draw two circles (same center, one bigger than
the other) and fill out the difference.
Something like the letter "O".
Here's a concrete example:
%%%
draw (6.949220,13.046900)..controls (9.539060,13.046900) and
(10.023400,10.781200)..(10.023400,8.679690)
..controls (10.023400,5.335940) and
(6.949220,0.000000)..(3.234380,0.000000)
..controls (0.890625,0.000000) and
(0.000000,1.886720)..(0.000000,3.828120)
..controls (0.000000,8.492190) and
(3.316410,13.046900)..(6.949220,13.046900)
--cycle;
draw (7.488280,12.293000)..controls (4.933590,12.293000) and
(1.265620,6.226560)..(1.265620,2.531250)
..controls (1.265620,1.562500) and
(1.695310,0.835938)..(2.722660,0.835938)
..controls (5.230470,0.835938) and
(8.972660,7.035160)..(8.972660,10.296900)
..controls (8.972660,11.269500) and
(8.703120,12.293000)..(7.488280,12.293000)
--cycle;
%%%
I want to fill out the space between these two draw lines.
Is this actually possible? The only reference to this I found was on wikipedia:
"Most notably, paths can have only one segment (so that regions are simply
connected), (...)" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MetaPost).
I thought I ask here before I put this aside.
As a workaround I fill out the bigger one with color black and the smaller one
with color white, but I need to put this on different background colors, so the
use of this is very limited.
How does it work with fonts (Metafont)? Who's filling that out, because thats
also just based on outlines, right?
Thanks
Adam
