MetaPost with etex/btex
Hello, The following code results in no label output: \starttext \startMPcode label.top(btex Some label etex, (1cm,1cm)) ; \stopMPcode \stoptext I'm using ConTeXt 2003.12.12. By the way, why don't \startMPgraphic and \stopMPgraphic do anything? David
Hi David, The use of the different possibilities of including metapost graphics in ConTeXt are described in the METAFUN-manual on pages 9, 81-82, 115 For your refernce I attach a small demo file using your code ... Kind regards Willi David Munger wrote:

Hi Willi, Thanks for the examples, they'll sure be useful. But I realize I have not been precise enough in my post. The point is that \startMPcode fill fullcircle scaled 1cm withcolor red ; \stopMPcode works, while \startMPcode label.top("Some label", (1cm,1cm)) ; \stopMPcode produces some garbage between "Some" and "label", and \startMPcode label.top(btex Some label etex, (1cm,1cm)) ; \stopMPcode doesn't work at all. Sorry for being that vague. David On 2003-12-14 07:01:34, Willi Egger wrote :

Hi David,
Sorry for being that vague.
You are still very vague. Your posted example works fine here. Please report what ConTeXt/texexec version you have. You might think of posting your logfile. Do you have \protectbufferstrue in cont-sys.tex? Patrick -- mon trainsistor j'adore
Hi, what ConTeXt version do you have? It sounds like an older one. Patrick -- mon trainsistor j'adore

texexec says: ConTeXt ver: 2003.12.12 fmt: 2003.12.14 int: english mes: english Freshly downloaded, but poorly installed by a novice... Actually I replaced the ConTeXt part from the debian unstable package source. So teTeX and ConTeXt are not synchronized. David
Hmmm,... I haven't tried this sort of thing for a while, so I downloaded the new beta into my Miktex system, regenerated formats, and attempted to compile the code below. I got the following error: ! Undefined control sequence. l.1 \global \loadfontfileoncetrue % ! You can't use a prefix with `\shipout'. <to be read again> \shipout l.2 \shipout \hbox{\smash{\hbox{\hbox{% line 226 C:\temp\junk-mpgraph.mp [1] ) (see the transcript file for additional information) I have write18 enabled in miktex.ini, and adjusted cont-sys.tex: % Enabling run time \METAPOST\ (also enable \write18 in % texmf.cnf): \runMPgraphicstrue \runMPTEXgraphicstrue % This saves some runtime, but needs a format, which you can % make with 'texexec --make --alone metafun'.
