Hello Hans,
it's possible to ask values from within mp:
\starttext
\startluacode document.variables = { labels = { "one", "two", "three", } } \stopluacode
\startMPpage numeric dx, dy; dx = 4.4cm; dy = 0.53cm; path b[]; for i=1 upto lua("mp.print(\#document.variables.labels)") : b[i] = unitsquare xscaled dx yscaled dy shifted (0, (i-1)*dy); draw b[i]; label(lua("mp.quoted(document.variables.labels[" & decimal i & "])"), center b[i]); endfor \stopMPpage
\stoptext
is there a doc where to study MP/Lua binding ("mp" members; examples) - like the manual "ConTeXt Lua Documents"? Here we can see Lua "mp.print()" and "mp.quoted()" usage...
