It depends on the orientation of the angle. An angle opening upward will increase (if ratio > 1) while one opening to the side will decrease. You need to know the vectors representing the two sides of the angle, or one side an the angle. For example, if w1=(u1,v1) is one side and theta is the angle, then w2 := w1 rotated theta; gives the other side. And the new angle is between w2' := (w2 xscaled ratio); and w1' := (w1 xscaled ratio); This new angle is best calculated by newtheta = angle (w2 rotated (- angle(w1))); It sounds like you need to change all the angle calculations to calculations with vectors. -- Dan Luecking Dept. of Mathematical Sciences luecking@uark.edu University of Arkansas http://comp.uark.edu/~luecking/ Fayetteville, AR 72101 From - Sat Jul 13 14:52:12 2002 Return-Path: Received: from mel-rto2.wanadoo.fr (smtp-out-2.wanadoo.fr [193.252.19.254]) by nef.ens.fr (8.10.1/1.01.28121999) with ESMTP id g6DCq4o86810 for ; Sat, 13 Jul 2002 14:52:04 +0200 (CEST) Received: from mel-rta8.wanadoo.fr (193.252.19.79) by mel-rto2.wanadoo.fr (6.5.007) id 3D1838B600A2D4E5 for metafont@ens.fr; Sat, 13 Jul 2002 14:52:04 +0200 Received: from wanadoo.fr (193.252.179.166) by mel-rta8.wanadoo.fr (6.5.007) id 3D2A78F600242E2A for metafont@ens.fr; Sat, 13 Jul 2002 14:52:04 +0200 Message-Id: <3D302271.41142EAD@wanadoo.fr> Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2002 14:52:01 +0200 From: Daniel Taupin Reply-To: taupind@wanadoo.fr X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.79 [en] (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en Mime-Version: 1.0 To: Liste metafont Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Scanner: AMaVis 0.2.0-pre6 / Virus Scan X-Loop: metafont@nef.ens.fr X-Sequence: 557 Precedence: list Subject: [metafont] Grid problem When I build a character in the normal way, the proof grid extends to the whole width of the character.
