🤫 fresh from the LuaMetaFun kitchen:
Still undocumented function lmt_stipple allows, well, stippled fills. And with some Voronoi magic, you can create eerie spider web graphics. 🕸️ 🎃 😉

@frischefarbe zeigt im nächsten Mini-Vortrag eine andere Spielerei. Ihr findet sie unter https://hobby.boxesandglue.dev/ und macht Werbung für #Metapost, was tatsächlich an vielen Stellen etwas mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient hätte.
Im #TeXConTeXt Umfeld wird es deutlich mehr genutzt, aber bei #TeXLaTeX haben gerade #TikZ & Co mehr Nutzung.

This was an excellent week for boxes and glue.
* the textshape Text shaper is now usable and passes almost all harfbuzz tests (still working on the last ones)
* mpgo - a Go MetaPost code is now pretty much feature complete (an bug free, of course)
* hobby, a Lua frontend for mpgo works fine
* glu, a boxes and glue Lua frontend is getting more and more functionality
* boxes and glue can now render SVGs in PDF and is font aware. it uses the textshape engine to render fonts in SVG.
* Merged some pull requests for textshape and boxesandglue. -

New software in the boxes and glue universe: mpgo and hobby. mpgo is a MetaPost library (re-)written in Go and hobby is a Lua frontend which uses the library and adds a Lua layer for programming.

Partly because of our #MetaPost workshop of next week at #AutomaticType #anrt @ANRT https://automatic-type-design.anrt-nancy.fr with @Ludi @eugbidaut @AntoineGelgon I'm reading an old brochure on (the always incredibly rich) archive.org about the "#Compugraphic Modular Composition System"
https://ia801000.us.archive.org/29/items/bitsavers_compugraphphicModularCompositionSystemBrochure_14979239/Compugraphic_Modular_Composition_System_Brochure_text.pdf
#photocomposition #typography
(lot of text in the alt of pictures)
According to the Compugraphic page on wikipedia "Following the success of the EditWriter, Compugraphic introduced [somewhere in the 70's] the Modular Composition System, known as the "MCS". The entire system was modular, including the software, which was delivered on 5" floppy disks. As the product matured, a "#WYSIWYG" (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) display was added (the PreView) so that a user could see a "soft" view of a job before it was typeset. This was followed up by the PowerView whereby the user worked directly on a "WYSIWYG" display. The MCS was a huge success, and also marked a change in technology from 8bit to 16bit (Intel 8086) cpu hardware." -

Metapost or your Brain
Today I burned my last half-neuron to solve a #design issue with #Metapost.
Now that I achieved my goal I was left without brain, how can I go forward now?My brain is wired to solve graphical/design issues not to solve coding ones, even when both overlap, my concerns belong to the visual space.
Now, that I don't have a sane neuron left anymore, I don't know what do to... 😖
I am definitively screwed... 😭

There are two things that always fascinated me. One, the graphics language developed in #MetaFont → #MetaPost → #asymptote And second, connecting various libraries from different sources.
With that in mind, here's another proof of concept of an interface for loading asymptote paths expressions into #CadQuery.

It’s been nearly a year ago, when Gerben Wierda (@gctwnl) shared this amazing example of diagram engineering:
https://ea.rna.nl/archimate/free-archimate-overview-pdf/
“The story at the end tells a bit about #LMTX and how it was done (it's about 2500 lines of Lua to parse the XML and produce the LMTX statements, and about 3500 lines of #MetaPost/Metafun to produce the graphics).”
