The Metafun manual is much clearer (way than the MetaPost manual) for a newbie such as me. I must confess that I don’t have the background to understand it, either in math, or in coding. But the manual makes me wonder how could I get some of the graphics shown there. > P.S. MetaFun/MetaPost tends to grow upon you. I learn new things every > day, and am constantly in awe...
