lmt_followtext and cycle
Hans, I’m afraid that lmt_followtext has problems with cycle again. \starttext \startMPcode{doublefun} path p ; p := (0,0)..(3,3.5)..(9,-3.5).. (12,0)..(9,3.5)..(3,-3.5)..cycle; draw p xsized TextWidth ; draw lmt_followtext [ text = "\dorecurse{9}{Just random text · } ", path = p, autoscaleup = "max", reverse=true, ] xsized TextWidth ; \stopMPcode \stoptext Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\starttext \startMPcode{doublefun} path p ; p := (0,0)..(3,3.5)..(9,-3.5)..

So you need to do this:
\starttext \startMPcode{doublefun} path p ; p := (0,0)..(3,3.5)..(9,-3.5).. (12,0)..(9,3.5)..(3,-3.5)..cycle; p := p xsized TextWidth; draw p ; draw lmt_followtext [ text = "\dorecurse{9}{Just random text· }", path = p, autoscaleup = "max", reverse=true, ] ; \stopMPcode \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, but version from 2021.03.17 17:46 requires two scalings, in path and in lmt_followtext: \showframe \setuppapersize[A6, landscape] \starttext \startMPcode{doublefun} path p; p := (0,0)..(3,3.5)..(9,-3.5).. (12,0)..(9,3.5)..(3,-3.5)..cycle; draw lmt_followtext [ text = "\dorecurse{9}{· Just random text }", path = p xsized TextWidth, autoscaleup = "max", reverse=true, ] xsized TextWidth; \stopMPcode \stoptext To get what version from 2021.03.13 11:22 got only scaling lmt_followtext. I mean, with previous version only scaling lmt_followtext worked fine. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

I mean, with previous version only scaling lmt_followtext worked fine. in one case you scale the result in th eother the text and when the text runs outside the shape the resulting bbox is larger than the original
xsized TextWidth scales the result how can the p you draw know that the lmt_followtext hs scaled to textwidth 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
