Ok, I start to see the picture: one must use MetaPost. I can accept that :) (even if it's somewhat clumsier, but this is no problem, one can write interfaces for that).
actually, it's handier once you get going; otherwise you would be limited to simple frames and backgrounds, simply because we would run out of keywords for options and/or forget to documen them; i expect to provide a library of backgrounds in due time
The problem is still that I cannot separate the behaviour at the end of the background from the behaviour at a split. What I'm looking for is something like this:
guess what, this time your demands for features are fulfilled on forehand!
there is an array available
multilocs[...]
1 = top 2 = mid 3 = bottom
shape; this is how i could handle the example in details with different shades per kind of frame
Can the first effect be achieved?
as said,
Hans
