Hi all, from metafun manual, page 157, I took this example

\startuniqueMPgraphic{copyright} picture p ; p := btex COPYRIGHT etex rotated 90 ; setbounds p to boundingbox p enlarged 1pt ; draw p withcolor .8white ; xyscale_currentpicture(\the\leftmarginwidth,\the\textheight) ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \setuptexttexts [margin] [] [\uniqueMPgraphic{copyright}] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext

but compiling it I get some trouble

texexec --pdf works as expected texexec --lua drops colors (COPYRIGHT is black) is ok, use btex color[white]{COPYRIGHT} etex instead

But that doesn't work in mkii then unless some other "hacks" are added. (I know, mkii and mkiv are not compatible, but there are no obvious limitations why they could not work in the same way.)

actually there are ... in mkii btex/etex pipes to an external instance of tex and then converts the dvi to mp code; so, there we have a mp picture that we can color as such (color info done in the tex job is lost) in mkiv btex/etex pipes to the current tex instance and mp never sees the result, only dimensions, and as such there is nothing to color; if i construct a more comples model for extensions i can make that work, but i'd rather wait for mplib to be extended with multiple pre/postscripts (is on the agenda but with low priority)

...

(no colorization of pictures with text in mkiv)

(In the particular case of gnuplot, I have no idea how to deal with that situation without a bunch of extra work since it's not so simple to convert some color from metapost variable into one that ConTeXt accepts in \color[...]. I have \chardef\TeXtextcolormode\zerocount in mkii, but I still consider it ugly.)

well, just define a color on the spot .. {\definecolor[temp][specs]\color[temp]text}

In the case of XeTeX: no, it's not normal. If you add \loadmapfile[lm-ec.map] this solves the problem, but if I was on your place, I would use \sometxt{COPYRIGHT} instead of btex COPYRIGHT etex.

indeed (althouh in mkiv they are the same .. btex/etex is converted to textext on the fly) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

\color[gray] of course \color[redembarrass]{Me Stupid} works too
