Stumped on Field

Stumped on Field

[darnold]

All,

In s-mag-01.tex, I am completely baffled by:

\startusableMPgraphic{text}
 StartPage ;
  for i=Header,Text,Footer:
   for j=LeftEdge,LeftMargin,Text,RightMargin,RightEdge:
    draw Field[i][j] withpen pencircle scaled 0.5pt;
   endfor;
  endfor;
 StopPage;
 setbounds currentpicture to Field[Text][Text] ;
\stopusableMPgraphic

I can find no references of Field anywhere, not in s-mag-01, nor in any
files in my texmf tree, nor in documentation, ...

Huh?

Anyone have a clue?

Seb,

Good reference. I'll explore this tomorrow.

Thanks.

Besides the already mentioned metafun manual, there is (on this
topic) a small illustration at
