[NTG-context] Re: Gray gradient with Metapost

2023-10-07 Thread Keith McKay

Hi Fabrice,

You could define you own shades of gray (I believe there are at least 
50) by adjusting the rgb values as I've shown below.


definecolor [ name = "verylightgray", r = 0.995, g = 0.995, b = 0.995 ] ;

definecolor [ name = "lightergray", r = 0.55, g = 0.55, b = 0.55 ] ;

draw lmt_shade [

path = (z0--z4--z5--z1--cycle),

direction = "left",

alternative = "linear",

colors = {"lightergray", "verylightgray"},

] xshifted 5cm;

I added it to your code after the lines:

draw z0--z4--z3--cycle;

draw z1--z5--z2--cycle;

draw rectangle;

Hope this helps.

Best Wishes

Keith

Hi,
Sorry for the late response. Thanks for the help. So I read the 
documents and managed to get a gradient even if it's not exactly like 
the figure.

While the luametafun (“Metafun XL”) manual is also (meta)fun, I meant
the general metafun(-s|-p) manual, the big one (>400 p. in the
“print”
version, >600 p. in the “screen” version). Recommended!
