All, I have the strangest Metapost error. The attached file compiles with: texexec section1figs It compiles just fine. But if I take the last graphic in the file, copy it (everything between last \startMPpage...\stopMPpage pair, including \startMPpage ... \stopMPpage, then paste it at the end of the file, then I get this error: [10.1] [MP to PDF] (./section1figs-mpgraph.11) [11.1] [MP to PDF] (./section1figs-mpgraph.12 ! Dimension too large. <recently read> \onebasepoint \handleMPboundingbox ... \dimen 2 #5\onebasepoint \xdef \MPyshift {\the \dim... l.2 %%BoundingBox: -63 -57 67 23594 ? Any ideas?
All, The real funny thing is if I take the file section1figs.tex that just gave the error described below, save it as junk.tex, then texexec junk, it compiles fine. Yuk! I am totally stuck. On Apr 2, 2006, at 9:32 PM, David Arnold wrote:

All, Very weird. Deleted section1figs-mpgraph.12 and section1figs.tex compiled. Huh? On Apr 2, 2006, at 9:47 PM, David Arnold wrote:

Maybe because of some left over file from last compilation. A rule of thumb that I follow: Whenever something unexpected happens with context mp interaction, texutil --purgeall to see if the problem persists. Careful if you have some *.mp files in the directory. They will be wiped out by this. Then just use textutil --purge filename Your files compile fine here. Aditya
