I'm experimenting with luatex-plain in minimals, cfr. minimals/tex/texmf-context/tex/generic/context All examples are compiled with $> luatex --fmt=luatex-plain.fmt luatex-test.tex luatex-plain.fmt is build with $>luatex --ini luatex-plain.tex This is ok: %luatex-test.tex \pdfoutput=1 \setmplibformat{metafun} \mplibcode beginfig(1) ; draw fullcircle scaled 10cm withcolor red withpen pencircle xscaled 4mm yscaled 2mm rotated 30 ; label("Foo",(0bp,0bp)); endfig ; \endmplibcode \end This is wrong: %luatex-test-wrong.tex \pdfoutput=1 \setmplibformat{metafun} \mplibcode beginfig(1) ; draw fullcircle scaled 10cm withcolor red withpen pencircle xscaled 4mm yscaled 2mm rotated 30 ; label(textext("Foo"),(0bp,0bp)); endfig ; \endmplibcode \end Any ideas ? -- luigi

textext is a mkiv feature Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

textext is a mkiv feature not a metafun macro ?

Anyway, this also doesn't work %luatex-test-wrong.tex \pdfoutput=1 \setmplibformat{metafun} \mplibcode beginfig(1) ; draw fullcircle scaled 10cm withcolor red withpen pencircle xscaled 4mm yscaled 2mm rotated 30 ; label(btex Foo etex,(0bp,0bp)); endfig ; \endmplibcode \end -- luigi

forget about metafun in plain ... it cooperates with mkiv and it's very unlikely that i'll ever make it generic Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

There is no btex .. etex in mplib, at all. Best wishes, Taco

So there are no others way to put a text in a btex ...etex fashion ? -- luigi

Not without macro/lua support, no. context mkiv does support these things, but Hans is (understandably) unwilling to write code to deal with the fairly unpredictable font setup of the luatex-plain environment. Best wishes, Taco

OK -- I understand this. Any plan to implement btex...etex in mplib ? -- luigi

Not btex ... etex, no. Maybe something new will appear in the long run, maybe not. Best wishes, Taco

well, you can set up some kind of mechanism that eventually produces a picture that mp can handle, or roll out your own code anyhow, i see not much reason for spending time on that kind of support for plain as i have no use for it

Hans

OK. -- luigi

OK.

Well... I have implemented btex .. etex feature upon Hans & Taco's luatex-mplib.* files mostly by mimicking the implementation in context.
