Dear list,

Is there any way to followtext in q without changing text direction?
I need to write the text counter-clockwise, but on outside of the path.
Reverse changes both text direction and side of the text (related to the
path) and I don’t want to change text direction.
it will probably always look bad
\startMPcode
path p ; p := reverse halfcircle scaled (5cm + 0.5LineHeight);
path q ; q := reverse halfcircle rotatedaround (origin, 180)
scaled (5cm +1.3LineHeight);
draw fullcircle scaled 5cm;;
draw followtext(p, "\strut just follow the tokens\enspace") ;
draw followtext(reverse q, "\strut just follow the
tokens\enspace") ;
\stopMPcode
Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
Is there any way to set origin to another value than (0, 0) in MP?
I realize it might sound weird, but it would make things easier in an
example that I’m working on.
redefining origin is a bad idea (don't expect help if you do that)
you can alway sdo
currentpicture := currentpicture shifted - center currentpicture;
