Hi, in an example document I’m trying to get pictures of random size and placement. Unfortunately the expansion is over my head: Put the value of the random location in a macro. Thank you! I thought I had tried that, but probably only defining the macro outside of the other… It could have been that you used \def which doesn't work because this will always call the Lua function and you get a new random value but with \edef the result of the first random value is stored in the macro.
\def\RandomA{\cldcontext{math.random(1,4)}} \edef\RandomB{\cldcontext{math.random(1,4)}} \starttext \dorecurse{10}{A: \RandomA \quad B: \RandomB\par} \stoptext Wolfgang
