how to apply gradient color to a piece of text?
hi all, when i look at luametafun manual there are some intresting examples that can apply gradient colors to metapost paths. how i can apply this cool feature to a piece of text? i tried the code below but it does not produce any result. \definecolor[Gleft] [h=9f9393] \definecolor[Gright] [h=ff1aa4] \startMPpage picture Mytext; Mytext := btex hello etex; draw lmt_shade [ picture="Mytext", direction = "right", domain= { 0, 2 }, colors= { "headerGleft", "headerGright" }, ] ; \stopMPpage
Have a look at the posts starting on the 2 March 2021 with the subject heading "Shaded Large Letters in LMTX". Hans gave a great solution. Best Wishes Keith On 07/04/2024 11:48, seyal.zavira@gmail.com wrote:

Neither for the example in https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/ntg-context@ntg.nl/message/SNL5YJ3NKZNF... nor for that in https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Cover_Pages#Empty_or_Transparent_letters I get any text in the gradient box. The font is loaded. Does it work for you? (ConTeXt LMTX 2024.04.01 08:59 with self-compiled binary) Hraban
Not for me either. I used it somewhere so I'll need to look back in my files. Keith On 07/04/2024 17:41, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:
