Hello Is it possible to import a metapost extension into a file compiled with the lmtx engine ? I tried unsuccessfully with this example : %%%% begin test.tex \starttext \startMPcode input mp-scratch; Scratchversion:=3; draw Drapeau; draw Repeter("4"); draw Avancer("50"); draw Tournerd("90"); draw FinBlocRepeter; \stopMPcode \stoptext %%%% end test.tex Thanks Fabrice

Hi, I think you need this: \startMPinclusions input mp-scratch; \stopMPinclusions \startMPcode Scratchversion:=3; …. If that also doesn’t work, perhaps attach the log file / terminal output to a new message. Best wishes, Taco

Hi Taco, Thank you for your help. I specify that this extension works perfectly by compiling the following file. input mp-scratch; Scratchversion:=3; beginfig(1); draw Drapeau; draw Repeter("4"); draw Avancer("100"); draw Tournerd("90"); draw FinBlocRepeter; endfig; end But what you are proposing unfortunately does not work.

But what you are proposing unfortunately does not work. what if you add a suffix:

input "mp-scratch.mp" ; maybe the path you look for is not part of the search path either mtxrun --expand-path MPINPUTS Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

A logfile of a failed run would have been more helpful in trying to track down the problem. But I did notice that there is a LaTeX file loaded in your succesful run. So perhaps the extension depends on LaTeX?

mtxrun --expand-path MPINPUTS

I looked for the file online [1] and it uses LaTeX commands (even begin/end blocks) for all text boxes. [1] https://melusine.eu.org/syracuse/poulecl/mp-scratch/ Wolfgang

Hello, That's okay, I'll compile the files with mpost and do an image insert. Thanks for your help. Fabrice Le mar. 1 sept. 2020 à 19:32, Wolfgang Schuster < wolfgang.schuster.lists@gmail.com> a écrit :
