Hi all

I went to use the lmt_shade function and it fails with two error messages. the first one is: *metafun > log > error: Not a cycle* followed by lots of trace messages, then: *metafun > log > That contour should have ended with '.. cycle' or '& cycle'. So I'll not change* *anything just now.* The MWE I used is as follows: \starttext \startMPpage definecolor [ name = "MyColor3", r = uniformdeviate(1), g = uniformdeviate(1), b = uniformdeviate(1) ] ; definecolor [ name = "MyColor4", r = uniformdeviate(1), g = uniformdeviate(1), b = uniformdeviate(1) ] ; draw lmt_shade [ path = fullsquare scaled 5cm, direction = "up", alternative = "linear", colors = { "red", "green" }, ]; \stopMPpage \stoptext

I'm using:

*system > ConTeXt ver: 2024.02.14 13:38 LMTX fmt: 2024.2.15 int: english/english*

on a mac mini M1.

Any thougths?

On an Mac running ConTeXt ver: 2023.09.26 18:19 LMTX fmt: 2023.12.11 , this works perfectly.

Best wishes

Fabrice.
