How can I compare picture variables in metapost?
by Zhichu Chen 06 May '09

06 May '09

Hi all, I want to draw some paths that won't intersect with each other in metapost. Those paths are generated "randomly," e.g., draw 100 circles without any intersections. I use a very stupid way like: ============================================= % randomseed:= day + time*epsilon ; save minL ; numeric minL ; minL = infinity ; z[0] = origin; for i=1 upto 99 : z[i] = (uniformdeviate 1 , uniformdeviate 1 ) ; for j=0 upto i-1 : if abs(z[i]-z[j])<minL : minL := abs(z[i]-z[j]) ; fi endfor endfor for i=0 upto 99 : draw fullcircle scaled 2cm shifted (z[i] scaled (2cm/minL)) withcolor (i/100, (100-i)/100, abs(50-i)/100); endfor ============================================= The randomseed made me crazy, for one time it compiles fine and sometimes it just flows out which I think may due to the size of the picture becomes big enough. I think a better way could be like this: pick a random point, fill it with color, pick another point and use "clip currentpicture to somepath" and determine whether it is blank or not. But "if currentpicture=nullpicture" won't work, so I'm stunned.

LuaTeX and xpdf
by Lutz Haseloff 06 May '09

06 May '09

Hi LuaTeX developers, LuaTeX after (including) Id: luatex.web 2366 2009-05-03 08:06:14 has a problem with pdf inclusion. I get an error: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.0-2009050518 (Web2C 7.5.7) \write18 enabled. ... mplib : loading 'metafun.mp' from 'C:/contextminimal/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/28feea729d47a604679d2be4cb698c93/formats/cont-en-metafun.mem' !LuaTeX error: xpdf: reading PDF image failed ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! After switching back to LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.0-2009042920 (Web2C 7.5.7) (btw with very nice format generating on the fly!!!) all works as expected. Greetings Lutz

Remove spaces from string
by Wolfgang Schuster 06 May '09

Hi, I'm looking for nice and short ways to remove spaces from strings with font names. I found the \unspacestring command in the core to do what I want but prefer a alternative solution or a few tips for the following code. \starttext \bgroup \catcode`\ =9 \definedfont[name:TeX Gyre Pagella Regular]text \egroup \stoptext Wolfgang

replacement for \nolist ?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 05 May '09

Another command that disappeared from MkIV is \nolist (to exclude parts of a title from a table of contents). What's its replacement? Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
