[ drawing lines with metafun ]
is it possible when using metafun, given a path to rotate the pen orientation following a different path? e.g. rotating the pen while drawing a line? and/or changing the pen width while drawing? it probably is possible, yet how? Any hints? .Floris

AFAIK it’s not possible to change the pen during the path. At least that was true a few years ago. Hraban

Here's the logo of the CMS: \startMPpage path p ; p := fullcircle xyscaled (100,70) ; path s ; s := nepstroke (1000) (.25 + uniformdeviate(5)) ; path t ; t := nepstroke (100) .25sin(10*pi*strokestep/strokesteps) ; picture c ; c := lmt_outline [text = "CMS", kind = "path" ] ; c := c shifted -center c ; fill p penstroked s withcolor darkblue ; for i within c : fill ((pathpart i) penstroked t) scaled 3 withpen pencircle scaled 3 withcolor darkred ; endfor ; \stopMPpage This will keep you occupied for the rest of the day.
