Hans and Sanjoy, I am doing something similar, so I am following this discussion closely. On my machine, the main directory is ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk. The main directory contains my environment files and book.tex (the project). Then I have these directories. ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0 ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter1 ... ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter8 Each of these directories contains a chapter and sections for that chapter. So, for example, I have: ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/chapter0.tex ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/section1.tex ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/section2.tex Each of these directories contains a figure directory. So, I have: ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/figures ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter1/figures ... ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter8/figures Each of these "figure" directories contain all of the figures for the chapter (the product). There are two files for each "section" of chapter that generate the figures. ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/figures/section1figs.tex ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/figures/figlibSection1.xml ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/figures/section2figs.tex ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/figures/figlibSection2.xml My project (book.tex) looks like this: \startproject book %\environment bookenv \doifnotmode{clean1-screen}{\environment bookenv-clean1-print} \doifmode{clean1-screen}{\environment bookenv-clean1-screen} \product chapter1/chapter0 \product chapter1/chapter1 \product chapter2/chapter2 \product chapter3/chapter3 \product chapter4/chapter4 \product chapter5/chapter5 \product chapter6/chapter6 \product chapter7/chapter7 \product chapter8/chapter8 \stopproject chapter0.tex looks like this: \startproduct chapter0 \project book \startbodymatter \setupheadnumber[chapter][-1] \chapter[chap:0]{Preliminaries} \component chapter0/section1 %Number Systems \component chapter0/section2 %Logic \stopbodymatter \stopproduct And the beginning lines in section1.tex look like this: \startcomponent section1 \project book \product chapter0/chapter0 \usemodule[newmat] \usemodule[fig-base] \usefigurebase[figures/figlibSection1] \section[section:numbers]{Number systems} The beginning lines in section2,tex look like this: \startcomponent section1 \project book \product chapter0/chapter0 \usemodule[newmat] \usemodule[fig-base] \usefigurebase[figures/figlibSection1] \section[section:numbers]{Number systems} The files section1figs.tex and section2figs.tex contain Metapost code in \startMPpage ... \stopMPpage pairs. The figure libraries figlibSection1.xml and figlibSection2.xml look like this: <?xml version='1.0'?> <?context-directive job module fig-make ?> <?context-directive job mode letter ?> <figurelibrary language="en"> <description> <organization>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department <project>Intermediate Algebra Text</project> <product>Chapter 0</product> <comment>Figures for Section 1</comment> </description> <figure> <file>section1figs-mpgraph.1</file> <label>sec1onea</label> <copyright>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</copyright> <comment></comment> </figure> </figurelibrary> This figure library also contains other graphics such as screen captures of my graphing calculator. It all seems to work. I have compiled individual sections, like section1.tex and I've compiled chapters, like chapter0.tex. I haven't tried to compile book.tex (too big), so I don't know if that works. Hope this helps. On May 10, 2006, at 7:38 AM, Hans Hagen wrote:

I've just tried the version below, but abc-1.eps cannot be found (I also tried \noexpand\currentcomponentpath):
% file: chap/1/c_ch1.tex \startcomponent c_ch1 \product onebook \project project_books \setupexternalfigures[directory={\currentcomponentpath}] % but, just as a sanity check, this way works: % \setupexternalfigures[directory={chap/1}] \title{One} Hi \useexternalfigure[ff][abc-1.eps] \placefigure[here][ff]{Some caption}{\externalfigure[ff]} \stopcomponent
so how is this component, when run on itself, supposed to locate itself,
- how does the dir structure look - where did you put the file - where did you run it
(there is also the option to say: \usesubpath[1,2,3,4,5,6])
