Hello, the answers to these three questions are most probably one-liners, but I don't know which ones ;) 1. How can I scale (an already defined) reusableMPgraphic? Simplified example of what I currently (want to) have: % how should I change this definition? \def\usemygraphic[#1][#2]{\reuseMPgraphic{#1}} \usemygraphic[name][width=.7\textwidth] 2. I have several graphics defined as \startGNUPLOTgraphic[1][name] draw fullcircle scaled 3cm withcolor .625red; \stopGNUPLOTgraphic \startGNUPLOTgraphic[2][name] draw fullcircle scaled 3cm withcolor .625green; \stopGNUPLOTgraphic \startGNUPLOTgraphic[3][name] draw fullcircle scaled 3cm withcolor .625blue; \stopGNUPLOTgraphic \startGNUPLOTgraphic[1][othername] fill fullcircle scaled 3cm withcolor .625red; \stopGNUPLOTgraphic \startGNUPLOTgraphic[2][othername] fill fullcircle scaled 3cm withcolor .625green; \stopGNUPLOTgraphic and a pretty stupid definition: \long\def\startGNUPLOTgraphic {\dodoubleargument\dostartGNUPLOTgraphic} \long\def\dostartGNUPLOTgraphic[#1][#2]#3\stopGNUPLOTgraphic % [number][name] {% add to counter to note the nuber of the graphic % define a new counter for the first time when you use it \doif{#1}{1}{\doglobal\newcounter\abc}% counter name has to depend on #2 \doglobal\increment\abc % assigning the value #1 to it would also be OK \startreusableMPgraphic{gpg:#2:#1}#3\stopreusableMPgraphic} How can I give a better name than \abc to the counter (the name should depend on #2 in order to be unique)? 3. I would like to change \usemygraphic, so that \usemygraphic[othername] or \usemygraphic[othername][height=5cm] would resolve to \dorecurse{2}{\useMPgraphic{gpg:othername:\recurselevel}} and \usemygraphic[name][n={1,3},width=8cm] (syntax might be different if necessary) to \reuseMPgraphic{gpg:name:1} \reuseMPgraphic{gpg:name:3} (with proper scaling if possible). How should I start? Thank you a lot for any hints, Mojca Miklavec
