New features since 2006.05.11:
* The use of \sometxt in MetaPost figures (instead of \textext) can remove the need for indirect "texexec" runs, resulting in a massive speed improvement for heavy documents.
Do I understand correct that this is meant to generally replace \textext from inside metapost figures?
Is the following change correct, for example: % prevent wobbling of text boxes with uneven depth pic := textext("\setbox0=\hbox{"&labeltext&"}\dp0=0pt\box0"); into: pic := sometxt("\setbox0=\hbox{"&labeltext&"}\dp0=0pt\box0");
this should work
Are there restrictions? When to use \sometxt and when is there need for \textext?
when such texts are used in e.g. mp loops, you should use textext Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
