Hi all,
I have a document in which I must draw several triangles for which two summits, say z0, z1, and the length of the two other sides are known, so that the third summit, say z2, is completly determined.
In order to draw one triangle the following works fine:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\startMPcode
z0 = (0cm,0cm) ;
z1 = (5cm,0cm) ;
path p, q ;
pickup pencircle scaled 2mm ;
drawdot z0 ;
drawdot z1 ;
p := halfcircle scaled 8 cm ; % twice the length of the second side at z0
p := p shifted z0 ;
q := halfcircle scaled 6 cm ; % twice the length of the second side at z1
q := q shifted z1 ;
z2 = p intersectionpoint q ;
drawdot z2 ;
pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ;
draw z0--z1--z2--cycle withcolor blue ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
However I would like to have a macro, for instance named Triangle, which accepts four arguments z0,z1, length_1, length_2, so that in a MetaPost code i can use
draw Triangle(z0,z1, 4, 3) withcolor blue ;
in order to draw the above triangle.
Has anyone any idea about how to do this?
Thanks in advance for your help: OK

Hi,
what about
\startMPdefinitions
vardef Triangle(expr za, zb, la, lb) =
path p, q ;
pair zc ;
pickup pencircle scaled 2mm ;
drawdot za ;
drawdot zb ;
p := fullcircle scaled la shifted za ;
q := fullcircle scaled lb shifted zb ;
zc = p intersectionpoint q ;
drawdot zc ;
pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ;
za--zb--zc--cycle
enddef;
\stopMPdefinitions
\starttext
\startMPcode
draw Triangle((0cm,0cm), (5cm,0cm), 8cm, 6cm) withcolor blue ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the quick answer and solution!
Your solution works perfectly in mkiv; however typesetting with mkii results in
! Undefined control sequence.
l.3 \startMPdefinitions
Is there a solution with mkii?
May I ask one more question?
In the macro you wrote
Triangle((0cm,0cm), (5cm,0cm), 8cm, 6cm)
one has to specify the double of the length of each side (because a unit circle in MetaPost is a circle having diameter one). Would it be possible to change slightly the lines
p := fullcircle scaled la shifted za ;
q := fullcircle scaled lb shifted zb ;
so that la and lb are replaced with their doubled values? I tried
p := fullcircle scaled 2*la shifted za ;
but this does not work.
Thanks for your attention: OK

Then just drop the MPdefinitions section and put the complete vardef
before your normal mp code in the MPcode section. That should work, I think.

Now that's strange... But I see what you mean. I didn't notice.

Yeah, you need parentheses here, because otherwise Metapost tries to
scale by 2 and then doesn't know how to multiply the result (the path
"fullcircle scaled 2") with "la".
p := fullcircle scaled (2 * la) shifted za ;
q := fullcircle scaled (2 * lb) shifted zb ;

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your explanations: everything works as expected and your solution is very instructive for me.
Later this weekend I'll put it on the wiki.
Have a nice day.
Best regards: OK

Or you can use
\startMPinclusions[+]
....
\stopMPinclusions
[+] appends to the existing content of MPinclusion, so you can have
multiple such sections.
