Hi, list! I have two questions concerning MetaFun: 1st: What is the correct way to pass a ConTeXt named color (e.g. xwi's "maroon") to MetaFun. Using (with \usecolors[xwi] loaded in the preamble): withcolor maroon does not work. I could copy-paste definitions from ConTeXt sources and do e.g. \definecolor [maroon][r=.690196,g=.188235,b=.376471] but it is unfeasible for complete color schemes. So, is there a better way to do it? 2nd: I was trying to do some stuff for my girlfriend using ConTeXt and I tried to randomize colors in MetaFun using normaldeviate. However, something interesting happens. The following: \setuplayout[width=middle] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setuppapersize[A10,landscape][A10,landscape] \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{cornystuff} draw outlinetext.f ("\framedtext[frame=off,width=fit,align=middle]{I love you \\ \CONTEXT}") %\CONTEXT is not my girlfriend, it's just for the example (withcolor (normaldeviate,normaldeviate,normaldeviate) withpen pencircle scaled 1/5) scaled 1 ; \stopuseMPgraphic \dorecurse{20}{% \startplacefigure[location=force,number=no] \useMPgraphic{cornystuff} \stopplacefigure \page[yes] } \stoptext changes the color of every letter. I don't complain (in fact it does look better), but I still have a question: what should I do if I wanted to select a random color first and then use it for the entire content? Thanks in advance. Jairo :)

You need: withcolor \MPcolor{maroon} or (note the quotes) withcolor "maroon"

newcolor randomcolor; randomcolor := (normaldeviate, normaldeviate, normaldeviate); .... withcolor randomcolor; Aditya
Using \MPcolor does it for me. Thank you very much, Aditya :) Jairo :) El jue., 13 de ago. de 2020 a la(s) 18:47, Aditya Mahajan (adityam@umich.edu) escribió:
