18 0 1 The following path is a closed one, and crosses the previously shown path. 3 2 0 1 With buildcycle we can combine two paths into one. 0 3 4 1 2 "z0..z1..z2" Welcome to MetaPost Constructing paths 2 "z0..z3..z1..cycle" "buildcycle(z0..z1..z2 , z0..z3..z1..cycle)" We would refer readers to the METAFONT book and the METAPOST manual for an explanation of the intricacies of the buildcycle command. It is an extremely complicated command, and there is just not enough room here to do it justice. We suffice with saying that the paths should cross at least once before the buildcycle command can craft a combined path from two given paths. We encourage readers to experiment with this command. In order to demonstrate another technique of joining paths, we first draw a few strange paths. The last of these three graphics demonstrates the use of softjoin. 0 1 3 2 "z0--z1..z2--z3"
0 1 3 2 "z0..z1..z2--z3" Watch how softjoin removes a point in the process of smoothing a connection. The smoothness is accomplished by adapting the control points of the neighbouring points in the appropriate way. 0 2 1 "z0--z1 softjoin z2--z3" Once a path is known, you can cut off a slice of it. We will demonstrate a few alternative ways of doing so, but first we show one more time the path that we take as starting point. 0 4 1 3 2 "z0..z1..z2..z3..cycle" This path is made up out of five points, where the cycle duplicates the first point and connects the loose ends. The first point has number zero. We can use these points in the subpath command, which takes two arguments, specifying the range of points to cut of the path specified after the keyword of. 2 1 0 "subpath(2,4) of (z0..z1..z2..z3..cycle)" Constructing paths Welcome to MetaPost 19
