Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\useMPlibrary[txt]
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{followtokens}
path RotPath ; RotPath := reverse halfcircle ;
% path RotPath ; RotPath := halfcircle rotatedaround (origin, 180) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\followtokens{Just follow the tokens}
\stoptext
How can I get both paths (in diverse directions)?
I would like to repeat the same text twice, separating both sentences
with a character.
I have to ask this, beause MetaPost is all Greek to me.
i have no clue what you mean but this will change the direction
Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
I attach an image of what I mean.
I want a full circle in two halves with the same duplicated sentence.
The first one written clockwise and the second one written
counterclockwise (as in the commented path above).
I hope it is clearer now.
path p ; p := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm ;
path q ; q := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm rotated 180 ;
path q ; q := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm rotated 180 ;
\followtokens{~this way~}
\followtokens{\reversedtext{~this way~}}
we will have this in metafun:
followtext("this way",p) ;
so that one can do it all in mp ... a nice gimmick for the ctx meeting
Hans
