Example

The following example defines a create_wave macro that is then used for the page background.

\startMPinclusions
  vardef create_wave =
    path wave;
    wave := (0, 0); 

    % Number of bezier points along the wave.
    wave_resolution := 20;

    % Number of full wave cycles.
    wave_cycles := 2;

    for x = 0 step (1 / wave_resolution) until 2 wave_cycles:
      wave := wave .. (x, sin( x * pi ));
    endfor;

    % Return the path
    wave
  enddef;
\stopMPinclusions

\startuseMPgraphic{page:ThemeBackground}
  path wave;
  wave := create_wave;
  draw wave xyscaled( 60, 20 ) withpen pencircle scaled 1mm;
