MetaFun: hlintext: `! Missing `)' has been inserted.`, `formatstr: ! Not implemented: (pair)-(unknown numeric).`
Dear ConTeXt folks, trying to draw a grid and label it, I get an error when using the (alsa attached) example from the MetaFun manual [1]. \starttext \startMPcode drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled .25pt withcolor .5white) ; draw hlingrid(0, 20, .2, 20cm, 10cm) ; draw vloggrid(0, 10, .5, 10cm, 20cm) ; drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled .50pt) ; draw hlingrid(0, 20,1, 20cm, 10cm) ; draw vloggrid(0, 10,1, 10cm, 20cm) ; fmt_pictures := false ; % use TeX as formatting engine textextoffset := ExHeight ; % a variable set by ConTeXt draw hlintext.lft(0, 20,5, 20cm, "@3e") ; draw vlogtext.bot(0, 10,9, 10cm, "@3e") ; \stopMPcode \stoptext I am using an older version of ConTeXt Standalone. ConTeXt ver: 2011.07.22 17:23 MKIV fmt: 2011.7.25 int: english/english Looking at the log output I could not figure out the original error. Please find the log file attached. Searching the Web I found other threads dealing with this issue. But adding \forceMPTEXgraphictrue as suggested in [2] it does not solve the problem either. Thanks, Paul [1] http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/metafun-s.pdf [2] http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2004/005007.html

Fixed in next beta (however, instead of mp formatting lua formatting is used, a prelude to the graph rewrite that Alan and I have in mind).

as always thank you very much for this fast fix. I confirm that this is fixed in current ConTeXt Standalone or latest Beta. ConTeXt ver: 2011.10.14 22:47 MKIV fmt: 2011.10.15 int: english/english

Not that I know the syntax of it. I hope the article FormattingNumbers [2] in the lua-users Wiki is the correct place to look. Reading other sources [3] it seems to be the same syntax as the `printf()` implementation of the respective system.

sort of (in our case the @ is also seen as % as passing %'s on tex is somewhat tricky) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
