Thank you. But TikZ simply delivers a "superior" result in this case
(= better tuned). We should figure out how exactly the shading is done
there (it's slightly eccentric etc.) and try to prepare a macro for
metafun that delivers the same result (or at least a compatible one)
with an input of a single colour as a parameter.
Most shades look ugly and useless to me anyway but you have more control
than you think (always had but nicer interfaced in mpiv):
\startMPpage
fill fullcircle scaled 10cm
withshademethod "circular"
withshadevector (5cm,1cm)
withshadecenter (.1,.5)
withshadedomain (.2,.6)
withshadefactor 1.2
withshadecolors (red,green)
;
\stopMPage
Of course you need to play with the values as there is no 'best'
combination.
