This however fails: k:=2; label.bot(textext("$1\over" & decimal k & "$"), (10,0)) ;

Try with \frac instead.

Or prevent expansion of \over label.bot(textext("$1\noexpand\over" & decimal k & "$"), (10,0)) ; Why \atop or \choose do not need \noexpand? What is special about \over? Aditya Thanks, Eythan
