Hi Hans, I updated lmtx, but your code does not compile except that the output is a pdf file where it is written ERROR.

Hello Thank you for your suggestion. However, it works with context and not with lmtx. Fabrice

\starttext \startMPcode defaultfont := "texgyrepagella-regular*default" ; defaultscale :=0.8;

color brown; brown = (0.128,0.00,0.00);

path twos, threes, sixes; twos = fullcircle xscaled 4cm yscaled 2cm rotated 180 shifted 42 left; threes = fullcircle xscaled 4cm yscaled 2cm shifted 42 right; sixes = buildcycle(twos, threes);

fill twos withcolor brown withtransparency(1,0.75); fill threes withcolor yellow withtransparency(1,0.75); fill sixes withcolor yellow + brown withtransparency(1,0.75);

draw twos; draw threes;

label("...",(1.5cm,0)); label("...",(0,0)); label("...",(-1.5cm,0)); label.top("yeux marron",(-1.5cm,1.25cm)); label.top("cheveux blonds",(1.5cm,1.25cm)); \stopMPcode \stoptext

tex error > tex error on line 1 in file ./blond.tex: ? Looks ok here ... but isn't the transparacy used instead of the sizes? Anyway, you can use named colors

\starttext

\startMPcode defaultfont := "texgyrepagella-regular*default" ; defaultscale := 0.8 ;

definecolor [ name = "mp:red", b = 1 ] ; definecolor [ name = "mp:green", y = 1 ] ;

path twos, threes ; twos := fullcircle xscaled 4cm yscaled 2cm rotated 180 shifted 42 left ; threes := fullcircle xscaled 4cm yscaled 2cm shifted 42 right ;

fill twos withcolor "mp:red" withtransparency(1,0.5) ; fill threes withcolor "mp:green" withtransparency(1,0.5) ;

draw twos ; draw threes ;

label("...",( 1.5cm,0)); label("...",( 0, 0)); label("...",(-1.5cm,0)); label.top("\strut yeux marron", (-1.5cm,1.25cm)); label.top("\strut cheveux blonds",( 1.5cm,1.25cm)); \stopMPcode

\stoptext

(you cannot overload colors at the tex level in mp but use them in order to be consistent)
