Hi all,
Some times ago, I have discovered MetaUML via the MetaPost ML. As a consequence, I have tried to use it with ConTeXt... Here is the result:
Considering a VERY simple example: [...]
Apparently, MetaUML is based on boxes.mp
(temp-mpgraph.mp (/usr/share/texmf-tetex/metapost/metauml/metauml.mp HERE ====> (/usr/share/texmf-tetex/metapost/base/boxes.mp) (/usr/share/texmf-tetex/metapost/metauml/util_infrastructure.mp (/usr/share/texmf-tetex/metapost/metauml/util_log.mp)) .... ....
It have already tried to use boxes.mp in ConTeXt in the past, but switched for metaobj because: 1. metaobj is more suitable to my needs 2. boxes.mp causes troubles when used with ConTeXT
I'll keep searching a solution but if one of yours has already dealt with this kind of problems and succeeded in using boxes or, best, MetaUML...
I remember I had such troubles when including boxes. It makes a mess when included in a graphic. Inluding it via \startMPinclusions makes your example work. \starttext \startMPinclusions input metauml.mp; \stopMPinclusions \startuseMPgraphic{xx} Class.A("A")()(); drawObject(A); \stopuseMPgraphic \placefigure[here][fig:xx]{xx}{\useMPgraphic{xx}} \stoptext Regards, BG
