I know. MyWay about \sometxt mentions currentcolor, but it's kind of tricky enough to find the proper manual with the needed information when one is looking for it. Using \sometxt instead of btex ... etex would be much more efficient as well, it has not been a secret, but I have no idea how to best proliferate that information.
you can use btex .. etex in graphics because they are replaced by calls to textext (mp macro) which works ok
PS: Before "currentcolor" was there, the circle would have come out red without having to use \MPcolor :-) You just had "bad luck" with it :-)
nothing to do with luck ... only with *you* wanting to use mp coloring with tex boxes -) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
