Re: [NTG-context] double followtokens?

Is followtext(“string”,path) not yet implemented? Because I get an error when running: \startMPcode path p; p:=reverse halfcircle xyscaled 25mm; draw p; followtext("some text but not that long",p); % <- causes error \stopMPcode Or do I need to call followtext in some other way that is not clear to me. dr.

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

\useMPlibrary[txt]

\starttext

\startuseMPgraphic{followtokens} path RotPath ; RotPath := reverse halfcircle ; % path RotPath ; RotPath := halfcircle rotatedaround (origin, 180) ; \stopuseMPgraphic

\followtokens{Just follow the tokens} \stoptext

How can I get both paths (in diverse directions)?

I would like to repeat the same text twice, separating both sentences with a character.

I have to ask this, beause MetaPost is all Greek to me. i have no clue what you mean but this will change the direction Many thanks for your reply, Hans. I attach an image of what I mean. I want a full circle in two halves with the same duplicated sentence. The first one written clockwise and the second one written counterclockwise (as in the commented path above). I hope it is clearer now.

path p ; p := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm ; path q ; q := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm rotated 180 ;

path q ; q := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm rotated 180 ;

\followtokens{~this way~} \followtokens{\reversedtext{~this way~}}

we will have this in metafun:

followtext("this way",p) ;

so that one can do it all in mp ... a nice gimmick for the ctx meeting
