 Not so exactly. The today reality is a bit richer than that in the 
 Metafun manual. One can choose from 8 directions:
 
 number   direction
 1NE
 2NW
 3SW
 4SE
 5E
 6N
 7W
 8S
 otherE

All right, thanks. Admittedly, i could have found this by trying more
numbers.
But anyway, transparency is ignored when using shading. Is there any
possibility to achieve a gradient from, i.e., completely transparent to
completely intransparent white?

That's really a pity. But alas, if *you* don't know, it's probably
hopeless.

the problem is in the fact that in a shading one has to define a vector and i have to find out how to define a transparent vector (color 1 - color 2)
