Hi,
I just tried to build my own object in metaobj but for some reason I cannot figure out it does not work. I tried the example from the metaobj manual in a tex document (it works in a metapost file):
\startuseMPgraphic{objecttest} vardef newSegment@#= assignObj(@#,"Segment"); ObjPoint a,b; ObjCode "@#b-@#a=(1cm,2cm)"; enddef; \stopuseMPgraphic
Can you post a complete metapost file that gives some output.I tried the following mp file: input metaobj; vardef newSegment@#= assignObj(@#,"Segment"); ObjPoint a,b; ObjCode "@#b-@#a=(1cm,2cm)"; enddef; beginfig(1) ; newSegment.s; % create an instance endfig ; end;
but running it through metapost gives me an empty file: %!PS %%BoundingBox: 0 0 0 0 %%HiResBoundingBox: 0 0 0 0 %%Creator: MetaPost 1.208 %%CreationDate: 2010.07.15:0119 %%Pages: 1 %%BeginProlog %%EndProlog %%Page: 1 1 showpage %%EOF Aditya
