no need to loop over tt

But the intention was to get a gradient _within_ the text.

Might there be a problem with the latest changes to gradients? \startMPpage picture tt ; tt := lmt_outline [ kind = "path", text = "\definedfont[name:texgyrepagellabold*default]foo f o o", ] ;

fill for i within tt : pathpart i && endfor cycle withshademethod "linear" withshadedirection down withshadecolors (red, blue) ; \stopMPpage I'll add this: \startMPpage draw lmt_outline [ kind = "outline", text = "\definedfont[name:texgyrepagellabold*default]foo f o o", ] withshademethod "linear" withshadedirection down withshadecolors (red, blue) ; \stopMPpage so a single path option (no picture) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

I'll add this:

so a single path option (no picture)

Thank you so much for the sample examples it would be great to also make text select able in output pdf the third example currently does not work. did you mean you will add this feature for next updates? we're talking outlines so that is paths which implies no search but you can do this (Keith and/or Hraban will explain and/or wikify it)

seams this code means to put a hidden text with same size behind metapost shape. but it does not work properly for me (current version: 2024.04.01 08:59) and produce empty page but with searchable hidden text.

as mentioned kind = "outline" will be in the next upload so with the current one you need to use the also posted here for ... endfor variant

also when i edit the code and replace metapost part like this:

\startMPcode      draw lmt_outline [          kind = "outline",          text = "\getbuffer[MyText]",       ]          withcolor red       ; \stopMPcode

it produces a selectable hidden text on top of body and red text that drawn by metapost below of that.

How can this problem be solved?

i attached the codes and pdf results.
