   Thanks for clarification. You will probably not have exactly the same
visual effect, but you can got rather closed one playing with the various
parameters (take care that some are sensible and minor variations can give
strange results...). Look for instance at the third example, using \ncdiag,
which is rather closed to the 3-3-6 MetaPost example in LGC.
