Hi!
I created a non-rectangular shaped document. The printer requires a cut
contour in a particular colour, no problem so far. However, he complained
about a missing “single continuous closed vectorised contour path”. The one I
provided is an area, not a contour path.
I created the path as follows:
\starttext
\startMPcode
draw origin -- (50mm, 0mm) -- (60mm, 20mm) -- (10mm, 20mm) -- origin;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
Any clue how to create such a vectorised contour path?
Marco

Use cycle to close the path.
\starttext
\startMPcode
draw origin -- (50mm, 0mm) -- (60mm, 20mm) -- (10mm, 20mm) -- cycle ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

That's it. The printer confirmed it's working now. Thanks.

Hi Marco,
In Metapost, fill is:
def fill expr c =
addto currentpicture contour c _op_
enddef ;
(whereas draw adds a "doublepath".)
