Re: [NTG-context] metafun 2
Hi Hans,
One MetaPost feature that I was looking forward to is the ability to create
a fill between two shapes.
Something like a difference function of two path's.
For logos I use the workaround with creating a path alongside the excluded
areas but it is always cumbersome.
I have briefly mentioned it back here:
https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/056910.html
Just for illustration purposes, if I wanted to fill the area in between two
circles:
*path p ;
**p := fullcircle scaled 1cm ;
**path q ;
**q := fullcircle scaled .5cm ;
*
Instead of creating a new path along both circles with:
*r := p -- reverse q -- cycle ;*
It would be nice to have something like:
*fill p excluding q ;*
or something like that.
I mainly have use-cases for differences in shapes, but filling the
intersection of two shapes would be the same idea.
Thanks,
Adam

Re: [NTG-context] metafun 2
We have eofill in MP (in pdf/ps in fact) and that likely will do what you need.
