Hi,
I never worked with that kind of stuff, so I'd like to get some feedback
and hints _before_ digging into the docs myself. So I explicitly don't
expect ready solutions, just a few comments if my approach would be right.
I'm looking for a way to typeset hatched cancellations in manuscripts
such as in the attached images.
I would approach this kind of stuff by drawing lines in a markup, is
that the right way?
And (more importantly) would it be possible to write a markup function
where I can
- create an arbitrary shape (with a path?)
- make this shape itself transparent
- fill this shape with hatches
- configure angle, density, thickness of the hatches
?
And, additionally, would it be possible to write a function that (more
or less) automatically applies such a cancellation to beams or subbeams
as shown in the images?
As said, all I'd like to know is if that's reasonably possible so I can
say that it'll be possible to create a working infrastructure for this
kind of tasks.
TIA
Urs
