Re: [NTG-context] Text with background (overlay with a line by MP)

... Thanks, so a "dirty" trick must be done anyway? A trick which would cause MP to evaluate a higher bounding box?

draw p withpen pencircle scaled 0mm withcolor white;

--- draw (0,0); --- instead works as well.

draw p yshifted -OverlayHeight withpen pencircle scaled 1mm withcolor .667red;

(quick and dirty, there is certainly a cleaner solution...)

(I guess so as well.) (BTW: I don't want to just \underbar the text - this is a simplified task/sample; drawing should be more complicated in reality.) Lukas
