Hi All,
Is it possible to get the fill colour in lmt_outline[] to be shaded
between two colours like in the lmt_shade[] command? It would be a
nice effect for large letters or words.
Sometimes the impossible is possible (see effects-001 in test suite)
% see discussion on this list with/by Garulfo
\startMPpage
picture tt ; tt := lmt_outline [
kind = "fillup",
text = "\definedfont[name:texgyrepagellabold*default]foo f o o",
] xsized 12cm ;
path bb ; bb := boundingbox tt ;
path pp ; pp := bb enlarged 2cm ;
fill pp
withshademethod "linear"
withshadedirection down
withshadecolors (red, blue) ;
for i within tt :
nofill pathpart i;
endfor ;
eofill bb withcolor "darkgreen" ; % you need to specify your
background
clip currentpicture to bb ;
\stopMPpage
I think I should add that to the metafun manual.
