This file belongs to the ROEX package. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The directory ROEXSAMP contains this file (0ROEXSAM.DOC) and 14 examples of using ROEX with the MFTOEPS package. WARNING: processing some of the files may last a while; in braces are shown computing times for mf386 (version 2.71 [3c-beta5]) run on 486 Intel PC with 66MHz clock. ES-01.MF, ``SQUARE'' (3 seconds): A trivial example, expanding stroke applied to a square. ES-02.MF, ``PARALLELOGRAM'' (4 seconds): Another trivial example: expanding stroke applied to a parallelogram. ES-03.MF, ``COGWHEEL'' (7 seconds): Expanding stroke applied to a somewhat complex object. RO-01.MF, ``PROPELLER'' (14 seconds): Removing overlaps applied to a circle and three rectangles; rectangles are positively oriented, circle is negatively oriented and has weight |2|. RO-02.MF, ``ENCIRCLED CROSS 1'' (4 seconds): Removing overlaps applied to a positively oriented circle and two negatively oriented rectangles. RO-03.MF, ``ENCIRCLED CROSS 2'' (4 seconds): An example very similar to RO-02.MF; removing overlaps applied to a negatively oriented circle and two positively oriented rectangles, background colour is set to |1| (default is |0|). RO-04.MF, ``EOFILL'' (30 seconds): Removing overlaps performed in two stages; emulates even-odd filling rule RO-05.MF, ``GERBERA'' (3 minutes, 51 seconds): Areas covered a specified number of times are collected separately using the macro |recombine_edges| (performing the last step of removing overlaps), and each area is painted with a different colour, yielding a gerbera-like form. RO-06.MF, ``EL PALO ALTO TREE'' (57 seconds): A tough example (see remarks in the code) excerpted from The \MF{}book, pages 124 thru 126. RO-07.MF, ``LOGO OF JOURNAL OF ALGORITHMS'' (28 seconds): Another example excerpted from The \MF{}book, pages 137 thru 139. ROES-01.MF, ``SUN'' (55 seconds): An example making use of both expanding stroke and removing overlaps. ROES-02.MF, ``DOORMAT'' (1 minute, 34 seconds): Another example making use of both expanding stroke and removing overlaps; ROES-03.MF, ``OLYMPIC CIRCLES'' (1 minute, 1 second): Yet another example making use of both expanding stroke and removing overlaps; it also demonstrates repositioning of the picture in such a way that the lower left corner of the bounding box coincides with the origin of coordinate system. ROES-04.MF, ``STAR FLOWERS'' (3 minutes, 4 seconds): An example of removing overlaps of a single self-intersecting curve; three EPS files are generated. You are entitled to do with these files whatever you wish. If you alter a file, however, please remove the comment line: `This file belongs to the ROEX package.' in order to avoid mess. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- END OF THE 0ROEXSAMP.DOC FILE
