Dear friends, Is there a way to create a simple filled area? Suppose I want to create a black area enclosed by a line of type border to draw the outline of a pillar, which is to big to be represented as a point symbol. Mihai T. www.iser.ro
You can create custom fills, but pillars can be shown by wall with the -outline in option set If you set a background colour this will then show. Or do you want to do something different Andrew On 25/11/11 14:20, Mihai Terente wrote:

Dear Andrew, thanks for the tip with -outline in. But I was looking for a way to fill in an arbitrary area to draw. Bruce's answer is what I was looking for. Mihai On Fri, Nov 25, 2011 at 5:28 PM, Andrew Atkinson <andrew@wotcc.org.uk> wrote:

If you want to create a user defined area, you could copy the area water code from here http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php?id=metapost And modify it like this say... code metapost def a_u_myarea (expr p) = T:=identity; thfill p withcolor black; % or 0.5green + 0.1red for example enddef; endcode initsymbol("a_u_myarea ") #to include the new symbol in the legend... code metapost def a_u_myarea_legend = a_u_myarea(<some appropriate code in here>) enddef; endcode

Dear Bruce, Thanks for the answer, it was exactly was I was looking for. I am new to therion and I have to admit that I didn't read the whole documentation, yet. Mihai On Fri, Nov 25, 2011 at 10:11 PM, Bruce <bruce@tomo.co.nz> wrote:
