Hello,
I do not answer the question, but I'm interested because I also use
Asymptote. The following code works with context in texlive 2016 but does
not work with standalone context.
thank you,
Fabrice
% macros=mkvi
\usemodule[filter]
\defineexternalfilter
[ASY]
[
filter={asy -tex "context" -outformat pdf
-outname \externalfilteroutputfile},
output=\externalfilterbasefile.pdf,
cache=yes,
readcommand=\ReadImage,
]
\define[1]\ReadImage{\externalfigure[#1]}
\starttext
Testing if we can include an asymptote image
\startplacefigure[location={here}, title={An Asymptote figure}]
\startASY
import three;
size(8cm,0);
currentlight.background=black;
material White(real x, real y){
return material(diffusepen=gray(.05+.1x+.3y),
emissivepen=gray(.05+.1x+.3y));
}
for(int y=0; y<=2; ++y)
for(int x=0; x<3; ++x)
draw(shift(2x,2y,0)*unitsphere,White(x,y));

Hello ConTeXtist,
I saw the opportunity to insert an Asymptote picture into Context source code (due filter).
For example here: https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2015/ 080581.html
Is there a way to pass the ConTeXt parameter which influenced the creation of the Asymptote image? My point eg. the ability to define macros, which gave its parameters to Asymptote procedure or function and depending on these parameters, the image created by Asymptote looked differently.
Before starting work on an illustrative example I am asking, whether it makes sense to deal with such a thing ... I suppose the impossibility of combining asymptote code and such Lua code (or not?).
There is a similar possibility, at least in Metapost? For simpler pictures it would probably suffice ....
Thanx
Jaroslav Hajtmar
