When I've finished the metafun manual i will start on a few more extensive drawing libraries [i've got some bits and pieces and ideas now]. I also have some ideas on a metapost counterpart of the context upto date docs, kind of a metapost chronicle thing, but this will probably focus on usage within context or stand alone mp code, and i still must get a brain wave for a nice and weird style. So, next year there will probably be contributions from our site. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------
