Dear metapost gurus,
There is something I don't understand about
cutbefore and cutafter. Maybe what I need is
in the metafont book which I don't have yet.
Anyway, here it goes.
Is there any way to tell mpost to cut a curve
exactly at the bpath of a boxed thingy? At the
moment I am facing the problem that for example
a cutafter of an arc goes slightly beyond (what
seems to be) the inner boundary of the bpath of
a circle.
I have attached a picture which demonstrates the
effect. In this picture the phenomenon manifests
itself with the first three circles at the bottom.
The arcs were drawn with a command that drew them
from the centres of the circles cutbefore and
cutafter the bpaths of the circles.
Ideally I would like to have control where to cut
the arcs. For example, it would be very nice if
it were possible to cut exactly at the outside of
where a circle is draw or to cut it exactly at
the inside of where a circle is drawn. Is there
any way to do this?
Any pointers/help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Marc van Dongen
