Hi all, from metafun manual, page 157, I took this example
\startuniqueMPgraphic{copyright} picture p ; p := btex COPYRIGHT etex rotated 90 ; setbounds p to boundingbox p enlarged 1pt ; draw p withcolor .8white ; xyscale_currentpicture(\the\leftmarginwidth,\the\textheight) ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \setuptexttexts [margin] [] [\uniqueMPgraphic{copyright}] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext
but compiling it I get some trouble
texexec --pdf works as expected texexec --lua drops colors (COPYRIGHT is black)
is ok, use btex color[white]{COPYRIGHT} etex instead
But that doesn't work in mkii then unless some other "hacks" are added. (I know, mkii and mkiv are not compatible, but there are no obvious limitations why they could not work in the same way.)
(no colorization of pictures with text in mkiv)
(In the particular case of gnuplot, I have no idea how to deal with that situation without a bunch of extra work since it's not so simple to convert some color from metapost variable into one that ConTeXt accepts in \color[...]. I have \chardef\TeXtextcolormode\zerocount in mkii, but I still consider it ugly.) In the case of XeTeX: no, it's not normal. If you add \loadmapfile[lm-ec.map] this solves the problem, but if I was on your place, I would use \sometxt{COPYRIGHT} instead of btex COPYRIGHT etex. Loading map files has been removed from XeTeX a while ago. Maybe lm-ec should be added back for such cases? (I remember some problems with btex etex in past after map files have been removed, but I don't remember solving anything at that time.) Mojca
