Is it ok in a .mp file to do something like

  for k=1 step 1 until N:
   beginfig(k);
    % some stuff
   endfig;
  endfor;

Thanks,

G

Sure, why not? Simply try this, which shows that it works fine:

N := 100;
for k=1 step 1 until N:
   beginfig(k);
    drawdot (100,100) withpen pencircle scaled k;
   endfig;
endfor;
end.

bye, Taco

Wow, I never realized that.  Man, I really gotta try to remember what
can be done with macro processors...,
