Subject: MetaPost cutdraw
Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2022 00:10:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <65347535-63b6-3a97-e5fb-74bdf43b6864@fiee.net> (raw)
Hi, I’m trying to understand MetaPost better.
I’d like to draw a fat line that’s cut at its end points.
I learned, “cutdraw” should do the trick, but I get a parallelogram
instead of a rectangle.
What’s wrong?

\startMPpage
draw (0,20)--(20,20) withpen pensquare scaled 10;
cutdraw (0,0)--(20,0) withpen pensquare scaled 10;
% just to show start and end
draw (0,-10)--(0,30);
draw (20,-10)--(20,30);
\stopMPpage
