[NTG-context] Custom metaobj object in context

13 Jul 2010

      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

When processing this with context (MkIV) I get

! Illegal parameter number in definition of \@MPG@objecttest.
<to be read again>
                    =
<argument>  vardef newSegment@##=
                                   assignObj(@##,"Segment"); ObjPoint 
a,b; Ob...
\dostartuseMPgraphic ...leuseMPgraphic {#1}{#2}{#3
                                                   }}
l.7 \stopuseMPgraphic

My first wild guess is that it has something to do with the "evil" 
@-symbol. But even if this is the case I don't know what to do to fix 
this. Any help appreciated and thank you very much in advance.

Stefan.
