I'm trying to typeset a numerical label (in math mode) and have space for a - sign (but not actually typeset the -) after the number in the case where the number itself is negative. I am trying this
label.bot(textext("$" & decimal(x) & "\hphantom{-}$"),(x*u,ay*u));
which fails.
Can you provide more details? A minimal example works without errors in MkII and MkIV. \starttext \startMPcode x := 1 ; ay := 1 ; u := 1 ; label.bot(textext("$" & decimal(x) & "\hphantom{-}$"),(x*u,ay*u)); \stopMPcode \stoptext Aditya
