Looking up the definition of the macro `xyscaled` it is indeed just a
short version of `xscaled αcm yscaled ζcm`.
$ more mp-tool.mp
[…]
%D More robust:
% let normalscaled = scaled ;
% let normalxscaled = xscaled ;
% let normalyscaled = yscaled ;
%
% def scaled expr s = normalscaled (s) enddef ;
% def xscaled expr s = normalxscaled (s) enddef ;
% def yscaled expr s = normalyscaled (s) enddef ;
%D Shorter
primarydef p xyscaled q =
begingroup ; save qq ; pair qq ; qq = paired(q) ;
( p
if xpart qq<>0 : xscaled (xpart qq) fi
if ypart qq<>0 : yscaled (ypart qq) fi )
endgroup
enddef ;
[…]
I am still confused though what happens in the above example scaling the
path of the function.
Trying
\starttext
\startMPcode
draw fullsquare xscaled 10cm yscaled 2cm;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
the resulting rectangle has the dimensions of 10 cm width and 2 cm
height but the path of the function above does not.
Thanks,
Paul
