Can we please add https://github.com/jemmybutton/byrne-euclid/blob/master/byrne.mp to Wiki because files have a tendency to disappear?

I will look into this and perhaps come up with a Metapost file, and then we can possibly add that in Wiki. I do not know Lua, and I am too old to learn another programming language.

[NTG-context] Re: Do we have a geometry library for Metafun?
Hi Shiv, The author of tikz-euclide has another package, tikz-elements, which looks like it could be used to do all of these calculations for MetaFun. The tikz-elements package, in spite of its name, appears to contain exactly one line of TikZ code. This line is in the very simple style file, tkz-elements.sty. Everything else is written in Lua. I think we could write a simple ConTeXt environment file that would replace tkz-elements.sty, making all of the tikz-elements package available for MetaFun rather than TikZ. This would not give you the pretty drawing features of tikz-euclide, since those features really are written in TikZ. I do not know of a MetaPost package that does the same thing, but there might be one. One pretty MetaPost drawing option is the byrne package by Sergey Slyusarev, which he used (with ConTeXt) to reproduce Oliver Byrne’s 1847 quirky edition on the first six books of Euclid’s “Elements”. All of the drawing is in MetaPost, and would work with MetaFun (I think). The LaTeX package is in TeX Live, and the ConTeXt version is at https://github.com/jemmybutton/byrne-euclid/.

I understand that most of it is very easy, but still a library will help new users. Tikz has Tikz-Euclide and Asymptote has a Geometry package.

Dear Gavin, I have managed to create an implementation for these operations which I think I can convert into functions and put in startMPinclusions and then use them from. there.

Hi Shiv, > Do we have a geometry library for common operations like finding tangents, > perpendiculars, circumcircle, orthocenters and such? I don’t think we have anything like that specifically in the MetaFun world, but if there is a MetaPost package you like, you can use it with MetaFun. For example, the TeX Live installation includes both ConTeXt and 3dgeom.mp, so you should be able to use the 3dgeom package in MetaFun simply with "input 3dgeom" in your MetaPost code. (I did a quick check, successfully drawing a drawing a cube with 3dgeom. I have not tested it beyond than that.) If there isn’t a MetaPost package for what you want, Lua may be useful for doing the calculations.
