DIY Basic Combinators

Before you start, make sure you have a circle function in your toolbox!

Background

The beside, above, and overlay functions in PyTamaro are not really necessary. The pin and compose functions are enough to express everything one can express with the other three.

In this activity, we convince ourselves of this, by using a DIY approach: we implement beside, above, and overlay ourselves, using only pin and compose.

DIY beside

Your Task!

Define a function beside that reimplements the beside PyTamaro function using pin and compose. Make sure that the resulting graphic is pinned in its center.

DIY above

Your Task!

Define a function above that reimplements the above PyTamaro function using pin and compose. Make sure that the resulting graphic is pinned in its center.

DIY overlay

Your Task!

Define a function overlay that reimplements the overlay PyTamaro function using pin and compose. Make sure that the resulting graphic is pinned in its center.
