Subject: Metapost - Seems like weird behavior. Is it a bug?
Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:45:42 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3b4b12310911242045l29326562t10e13387ce56b2cb@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
The code below shows a cyclic path that I am interested in creating
(it is in red if you run the code). The example works fine as long as
I have, u:=1cm, as in the code below. But if I replace it by ,
u:=0.6cm, there is no output. There is an error saying that paths 4
and 3 do not intersect. Is this a bug?
Thanks for your help.
