externalfigure error in current mkiv beta
Hi all, with the current Context beta ConTeXt ver: 2011.04.13 09:23 MKIV fmt: 2011.4.19 int: english/english and a recent luatex LuaTeX, Version beta-0.66.0-2011041617 (rev 4160) (Win 7 64bit) the externalfigure macro breaks with following message: metapost > loading 'metafun.mp' (experimental metapost version two) metapost > terminal: >> picture !

Hi all,
with the current Context beta ConTeXt ver: 2011.04.13 09:23 MKIV fmt: 2011.4.19 int: english/english and a recent luatex LuaTeX, Version beta-0.66.0-2011041617 (rev 4160) (Win 7 64bit)
the externalfigure macro breaks with following message:

My code:

in mkiv the functionality has changed: draw externalfigure "somefile" scaled 10cm ; so, beter scaling etc Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

so, beter scaling etc right: this works ok now. \starttext \startMPcode draw externalfigure "hacker.jpg" scaled 10cm ; \stopMPcode \stoptext

Is there a recent Metafun manual?

I would even buy it (like the "Fonts in ConTeXt").

But it already needs to be updated with "draw externalfigure" :) Alan P.S. The printed manual on paper is really nice! On Wednesday 20 April 2011 07:09:16 Pontus Lurcock wrote:

I'm still not sure about that one ... compatibility vs clean Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I rather like the new syntax - indeed much cleaner. (However, for compatibility issues, it might be nice to somehow program a better error message, if possible, so that 'externalfigure "hacker.jpg";' more elegantly fails.) In fact, '\externalfigure' in ConTeXt and 'externalfigure' in metafun (without 'draw') can be a bit confusing, as in \starttext \externalfigure "hacker" scaled 5cm ; \stoptext Of course, no-one would ever admit to such foolishness.

pretty hard in metapost

maybe another name externalimage or so (as images in mp need to be drawn) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I usually prefer the more verbose: draw textext("\externalfigure[...]") ... which makes things conceptually clearler. Aditya
