Hi,

In 2008.08.18 14:00 MKIV the background color of sometxt is ignored. I used to use this trick to unfill the background while drawing a label, but it no longer works (It used to work a month ago).

Bug or feature?

\unprotected\definetextext[parbox] {\framed [ frame=off, width=2cm, height=.85cm, autowidth=no, align={middle,middle}, background=color, backgroundcolor=white]}

\starttext

\startMPcode draw (0,0) -- (3cm,3cm) ; label(\sometxt[parbox]{ABC}, (1.5cm,1.5cm)) ; \stopMPcode

\stoptext

well, white is not the best test example \unprotected\definetextext[parbox] {\framed [ width=2cm, height=.85cm, autowidth=no, align={middle,middle}, background=color, backgroundcolor=white]} \startMPpage[background=color,backgroundcolor=red] draw (0,0) -- (3cm,3cm) ; label(\sometxt[parbox]{ABC}, (1.5cm,1.5cm)) ; \stopMPpage works ok here ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
