Hello all,
Is it possible to define a path in metapost-metafun using "function"? In
the metafun manual (chapter on Functions) the examples shown are all of
the type "draw function ...". I wonder if it is possible to define a path
with a function ("picture" after draw doesn't allow that afaik)?
tia,
(mkiv)

there are some helpers in the new graph module, but Alan has to give an
example
% least-squares "fit" to a polynomial
%
% example :
%
% path p[] ;
% numeric a[] ; a0 := 1 ; a1 := .1 ; a2 := .01 ; a3 := .001 ; a4 :=
0.0001 ;
% p0 := makefunctionpath(0,5,10,polynomial_function(a,4,x)) ;
(it fails here so I probably misunderstand it)

I could not find this module ? (I always update with --modules=all)

mp-grap.mpiv
but Alan has to show how to use that feature (outside graph)

This only will work within the graph environment and using the double
precision mathematical model.
The updated graph documentation is close to being released - promised
for the proceedings for the last ConTeXt meeting.
