Feature request (was: converting EPS to MetaCard poligons)

[jbv]

I made a couple of small improvements to the
"bezier" handler (see code below) :

1) the number of steps for the bezier curve
is stored in a variable Nsteps

2) successive duplicates in the list of points
for the graphic are removed



Anyway, I tried to modify / increase the # of
steps for the bezier, but it doesn't change much :
the design is only slightly smoothed when going
from 50 to 200 steps !!!

So here's the request : in a future MC version,
could we have antialiasing on graphics, that also
works when graphics are resized ?

Thanks
JB

on bezier
  global variablezxc,a,b,c,d
  put the first item of a into x1
  put the first item of d into x2
  put the first item of b into xa
  put the first item of c into xb
  put the second item of a into y1
  put the second item of d into y2
  put the second item of b into ya
  put the second item of c into yb

  put 100 into Nsteps
  put 0 into v1
  Repeat with i = 1 TO Nsteps
    put i*(1/Nsteps)into v1
    put 1-v1 into v2
    put (x1*(v2^3)+(3*xa*v1*v2*v2)+(3*xb*v1*v1*v2)+(x2*(v1^3)))into x
    put (y1*(v2^3)+(3*ya*v1*v2*v2)+(3*yb*v1*v1*v2)+(y2*(v1^3)))into y
    put x div 1,y div 1 & return after variablezxc
  end repeat

  repeat with i=(number of lines of variablezxc) down to 2
    if line i of variablezxc is not "" then
      if line i of variablezxc = line i-1 of variablezxc then
        delete line i of variablezxc
      end if
    end if
  end repeat

  put variablezxc into msg
  -- set the points of grc "bezier1" to variablezxc
end bezier
