Showing value of a MP variable
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 08 Mar '19

08 Mar '19

Hello, is it possible (namely for debugging) values of MP variables (be it on the console or in the log)? I thought there is MP command "show" (mentioned in mpman.pdf) for this; but: ---- \starttext A \startMPcode newpair pt; pt := (10,20); show pt; % <-------------------------- How to show the value? drawdot pt; \stopMPcode \stoptext ---- doesn't show value of 'pt' variable.

My own backgroundcolor in a frame
by Ursula Hermann 08 Mar '19

08 Mar '19

Dear List! I have the following example: \defineframedtext [prettyblock] [width=10cm, indenting={yes, small}, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgreen, foreground=color, foregroundcolor=black , offset=2mm, align=flushleft] My problem is now: how can I write, if I have an Rgb Color and I do not know the name. I have looked at the list, but cannot find the color. Can I say: background=color, backgroundcolor=rgb and put the numbers in (lets say: r=200, g=112, b=300)? Is that correct, or do I have to take a special way? Or do I have to define it? Many thanks and regards Uschi Hermann
