Hi everyone! I've recently ported TikZducks to ConTeXt and finally removed TIkZ along the way. So a new module was created. The module is called "metaducks" (lol) and it's essentially a \useMPgraphic{...} with a lot of options, most of them ported from TikZducks. For those not familiar with the package, it draws customized rubber ducks :) I want to include some more, so I'll gladly read any feedback, recommendations and suggestions. Eventually I want it to be a module on its own. The module is already in the ConTeXt Group: https://modules.contextgarden.net/cgi-bin/module.cgi/action=details/id=105 in case anyone wants to give it a try. Here's a minimal example: \usemodule[metaducks] \starttext \ducks[santa=true,mug=true] \stoptext I wish the best for you all. Happy holidays! Cordially, Jairo :)

You can add, at the end of the module: \continueifinputfile{t-metaducks.mkvi} \starttext \dorecurse{100}{ \startTEXpage \randomducks % Why plural? \stopTEXpage } \stoptext Which means that you run the module directly you get an example. No need to add \endinput, so just after the \protect (actually in your case there is no need for \unprotect \protect).

\continueifinputfile{t-metaducks.mkvi}
\starttext \dorecurse{100}{ \startTEXpage \randomducks % Why plural?
Because \duck is already taken by TikZducks :(
\stopTEXpage } \stoptext
Which means that you run the module directly you get an example.
Oh, that explains \continueifinputfile in some source files. Nice. I'll add my test example.
No need to add \endinput, so just after the \protect (actually in your case there is no need for \unprotect \protect).
I want to do some additional trickery later, so \unprotect ... \protect are fine there, I think :)
Thanks,
Thanks to you! I enjoy typesetting with ConTeXt and I'm very happy with all their possibilities.

Lucky you! We have a nice bay in Callao, but no ducks. I have to visit my mother's homeland to see them in the wild :D

It's nice to see a new third party module for ConTeXt but you have to make a few changes. 1. You have to put the module and the documentation in the correct doc and tex folders. 2. You should give your manual a better name, e.g. metaducks-manual.tex 3. You can put your color definitions in the module, there is no need for a new color file, especially because most of the colors you use are already predefined. Wolfgang

I'm doing it now. Thanks, I'll give my module some more order.
2. You should give your manual a better name, e.g. metaducks-manual.tex
Agreed. I'll prepare a better manual before updating.
3. You can put your color definitions in the module, there is no need for a new color file, especially because most of the colors you use are already predefined.
Oh, colors are a bit different, so I copied RGB definitions from xcolor.sty, especially because with ConTeXt colors ducks looked a bit "brown" rather than yellow. However, I can merge t-metaducks.mkvi and colo-imp-xcolor.mkiv if necessary. Thank you for your feedback. Jairo

no need to merge ... in lmtx you can play with withcolor "red" and such ... best keep colors abstract Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
