Supporting Layout Routines in Metapost
نویسنده
چکیده
METAPOST is known as a powerful graphics drawing language. However, METAPOST dose not provide any mechanisms to automatically lay out graphic objects. In this article, we present two approaches to help METAPOST users to automatically or semiautomatically lay out objects that they are drawing.

MetaPlot, MetaContour, and Other Collaborations with METAPOST
Most methods of creating plots in METAPOST work by doing all of their calculations in METAPOST, or by doing all of their calculations in a preprocessing program. There are advantages to dividing the work more equitably, by doing the mathematical and data-visualization calculations in a preprocessing program and doing the graphical and layout calculations in METAPOST. The MetaPlot package provid...

متن کاملSchwerdtfeger-Fillmore-Springer-Cnops Construction Implemented in GiNaC
This is an implementation of the Fillmore–Springer–Cnops construction (FSCc) based on the Clifford algebra capacities [11] of the GiNaC computer algebra system. FSCc linearises the linear-fraction action of the Möbius group. This turns to be very useful in several theoretical and applied fields including engineering. The core of this realisation of FSCc is done for an arbitrary dimension, while...

متن کاملExtension of VIKOR Method to Find an Optimal Layout for Fixture's Supporting Points in Order to Reduce Work Piece Deformation
In automotive industry fixtures have a direct effect on product manufacturing quality, productivity and cost, as a result fixtures, particularly welding fixture, play a crucial role in the auto industry. The fixture is a special tool for holding a work piece in proper position during manufacturing operation, so in the phase of the fixture design process positioning pins and surfaces are used to...
