Dear list, I have some difficulty to reuse a static picture in a multipage MetaFun document. I wish to define a complex image, with graphic and texts, and manipulate this image at each page. As the minimal working example shows, if I define a particular picture in the variable « AnImage » and a random text in another picture called « AnotherImage », I can use these two pictures in the first page of the document, but only one of them appears in the second page of the document (with the same code). I know that if I replace startMPinclusions/stopMPinclusions by startMPinitializations/stopMPinitializations, this works, but the image is recalculated (a different number is drawn), and I do not want this since the image is complex and takes time to make. So the question : how to make the two pictures « AnImage » and « AnotherImage » appears in the both page ? Thanks for any help ! Fabrice, % MWE : % 8< --------------------------------------- \starttext \startMPinclusions picture AnImage , AnotherImage; AnImage := image ( draw fullcircle scaled 40; ); AnotherImage := image ( arandomnumber := uniformdeviate(1); draw textext(decimal(arandomnumber)) scaled 0.5; ); \stopMPinclusions \startMPpage draw AnImage ; draw AnotherImage ; \stopMPpage \startMPpage draw AnImage ; draw AnotherImage ; \stopMPpage \stoptext % 8< ---------------------------------------
