Hello, I'd need to use the same color for text and drawing inside a MP code. The typical situation looks the following way: ---- \definecolor[COL][.7red] \starttext \startMPcode label(btex \color[COL]{Some text} etex, (0, 0)); color col; col := .7red; draw unitsquare scaled .5cm withcolor col; \stopMPcode \stoptext ---- The problem is that the color must be defined twice - first as TeX's 'COL', later as MP's 'col'. As far as I know, the 'COL' must be defined inside TeX code as colored text in MP is achieved *only* by calling TeX's "btex \a-color-family-command[a-color][some-text] etex". So that's why I think the color must be defined in TeX. But how to access the TeX's color in MP? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.
