Which is why I asked :) In particular, there are a few things that I currently see as "missing" in (plain) MetaPost (and which I couldn't find in MetaFun either); for example, there is no macro that allows to "add" drawoptions; you can only replace them altogether. PSTricks, OTOH (at least for what I could see) has a default color, pensize and line style which can be changed singularly (MetaPost seems to only do this for the pen --currentpen; it doesn't have a currentcolor or currentstyle). -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
