Subject: Metapost: I only need a little bit padding
Date: Sat, 05 Apr 2014 15:48:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5340099A.9040102@gmx.de> (raw)
I want to have a rectangle (box) with a word in it (i.g.
"Headline). And all should be rotated 90°.
Below I found a solution I am quite happy with. How can I
get a little bit more padding around the text in the box?
You can copy the example to http://live.contextgarden.net/
- it is running:
\startuseMPgraphic{rotatedHeadline}
% Text "Headline" in a box which is rotated
draw btex {\strut\tfd Headline} etex;
% rectangle with rounded corners
path p;
p := llcorner currentpicture+(0mm,3mm){down}..{right}llcorner
currentpicture+(3mm,0mm)--
lrcorner currentpicture+(-3mm,0mm){right}..{up}lrcorner
currentpicture+(0mm,3mm)--
urcorner currentpicture+(0mm,-3mm){up}..{left}urcorner
currentpicture+(-3mm,0mm)--
ulcorner currentpicture+(3mm,0mm){left}..{down}ulcorner
currentpicture+(0mm,-3mm)--cycle;
pickup pencircle scaled 0.5pt;
clip currentpicture to p;
draw p;
currentpicture := currentpicture rotated 90;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
\useMPgraphic{rotatedHeadline}
\stoptext
