Or like this (less quick and perhaps less dirty): \def\Text#1{\inframed[location=top, background=Label, boffset=\lineheight, frame=off]{#1}} -- Peter

Hello,

I'm trying to create an overlay - text with a line drawn bellow.

The following code:

---

\defineoverlay[Label][\useMPgraphic{Label}]

\startuniqueMPgraphic{Label} path p; p := (0,0) -- (OverlayWidth,0); draw p yshifted -1cm withpen pencircle scaled 1mm withcolor .667red; \stopuniqueMPgraphic

\def\Text#1{\inframed[background=Label,frame=off]{#1}}

\starttext AAA \Text{BBB} CCC \stoptext

---

results in a horizontal line going exactly through the middle of the text.

And I'd like to draw it bellow; thus "yshifted -1cm".

How to do it?

You do not need yshifted. But you need to set the bounding box of the resulting image correctly. \startuniqueMPgraphic{Label} path p; p := (0,0) -- (OverlayWidth,0); draw p withpen pencircle scaled 1mm withcolor .667red; setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox OverlayBox ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic Aditya
