Marc's `MetaPost` Pages (Examples: Mathematical Section)

Please find below links to a selection of MetaPost sources. You can download the whole bunch as a gzipped tar-file. The archive is a lot smaller than it used to be (it's about 110KB). It includes tools to rebuild all the graphics and an INSTALL script. Just run the INSTALL script in the mpost directory and Bob's you uncle.

For most (if not all) of the examples it is assumed that you have set your TEX environment variable to latex. It is also assumed that you have ghostscript, latex, and metapost working.

Click on the links to see the pictures. There is also a page with links. Time permitting, I will add some more examples as well as some useful MetaPost tips.

Everybody should know a proof of Pythagoras' Theorem.
Those Fibonacci numbers occur everywhere. Now also as squares and as a trees in MetaPost.
An example of how to draw Hilbert curves. There probably are better and more efficient ways of doing this but I didn't bother to see which. Let me know if you have a better solution.
The intersection of a circle and a parabola.
Some fun with stars and related graphs.
