Re: [NTG-context] Metapost calling TeX (ConTeXt)

You may have hit a problem I had which is that you need to tell mpost what Tex to call. In my case I have my command line program incorporate the following line setenv TEX texexec before starting mpost label("aa",origin); is controlled by mpost alone whereas label(btex aa etex,(0,0)) ; calls TEX to make the space for the characters You may also need some verbatim code at the beginning of the file to set the fontsize etc. I don't know whether there is also a need to enable \write18 in this case I have it permanently enabled. To do this; Edit /usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf and set shell_escape = t %rather than f I hope this helps -- Nigel

(please excuse my poor english)

I'm using ConTeXt with the distribution of teTeX by Gerben Wierda (with iInstaller) under MacOS X (10.2.6). Version of texmf.ii2 : 2003/04/15 12:03:57

This works perfectly :

\starttext \startMPpage label("aa",(0,0)) ; draw fullcircle scaled 3cm ; \stopMPpage \stoptext \end

But this don't work :

\starttext \startMPpage label(btex aa etex,(0,0)) ; draw fullcircle scaled 3cm ; \stopMPpage \stoptext \end

Who can help me ?

Thank in advance,

Laurent
