Can we please add
https://github.com/jemmybutton/byrne-euclid/blob/master/byrne.mp to Wiki
because files have a tendency to disappear?
Similarly, can we please add
https://github.com/thruston/Drawing-with-Metapost/blob/main/Drawing-with-Metapost.pdf
file to Wiki?

The fiziko library by the same author is also very interesting:

Thanks for all this info. I will look into this and perhaps come up with a
Metapost file, and then we can possibly add

No library that I know of, but drawing tangents (and therefore, perpendiculars)
is straight-forward:
Dear Gavin,
I have managed to create an implementation for these operations which I

I don’t think we have anything like that specifically in the MetaFun world, but
if there is a MetaPost package you like, you can use it with MetaFun. For
