Hello!
I have tried an example:
1 \starttext 2 This is me 3 \startMPcode 4 u:=0.4cm; 5 dirlabel:=90; 6 abscoord:=true; 7 endlabelspace:=0.5cm; 8 draw startlable ("S") 9 draw tree[1][1]((-5.5u,4u)(5.5u,8u)) ("NP","","VP",""] 10 \stopMPcode 11 \stoptext
but there is somethin wrong, because the mistake says:
Where does that example come from? How is startlable (or maybe startlabel) defined?
there is a startlabel macro texmf-dist/metapost/mptrees/mptrees.mp of the 2017 TeXLive Supposing to compile with the TeXLive enabled, this code works: \starttext This is me \startMPcode input mptrees; u:=0.4cm; dirlabel:=90; abscoord:=true; endlabelspace:=0.5cm; draw startlabel("$S$"); draw tree[1][1]((-5.5u,4u),(5.5u,8u))("NP","","VP",""); \stopMPcode \stoptext -- luigi
