[NTG-context] Re: lmt_shade fails

Thanks for the reply Fabrice. Looks like something changed in the recent update. I'm sure Hans will pick it up. Best wishes Keith McKay On Mon, 19 Feb 2024, 13:21 Fabrice L, wrote:

Hi all

I went to use the lmt_shade function and it fails with two error messages. the first one is: *metafun > log > error: Not a cycle* followed by lots of trace messages, then: *metafun > log > That contour should have ended with '.. cycle' or '& cycle'. So I'll not change* *anything just now.* The MWE I used is as follows: \starttext \startMPpage definecolor [ name = "MyColor3", r = uniformdeviate(1), g = uniformdeviate(1), b = uniformdeviate(1) ] ; definecolor [ name = "MyColor4", r = uniformdeviate(1), g = uniformdeviate(1), b = uniformdeviate(1) ] ; draw lmt_shade [ path = fullsquare scaled 5cm, direction = "up", alternative = "linear", colors = { "red", "green" }, ]; \stopMPpage \stoptext

I'm using:

*system > ConTeXt ver: 2024.02.14 13:38 LMTX fmt: 2024.2.15 int: english/english*

on a mac mini M1.

Any thougths?

On an Mac running ConTeXt ver: 2023.09.26 18:19 LMTX fmt: 2023.12.11 , this works perfectly.

Best wishes
