Clipping of text (or something equivalent)
Hi all, I'd like to achieve in context something like I did in the attachment (context.pdf). My idea was (and that's the way how I did this in Inkscape): - Create Text - Double the text - Clip one for the upper half, clip the other for the lower half - Connect the two halves. My (probably naive) approach to clipping text in context was: ----- \starttext \startuniqueMPgraphic{context} draw btex \bf Context etex xyscaled (4.0, 4.0) withcolor .8white ; clip currentpicture to unitsquare; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \null\dontcomplain \uniqueMPgraphic{context} ----- (Without the "clip" - line, the string "Context" is displayed. With clipping, nothing is displayed.) Any hint in the right direction towards clipping or maybe a better way to achieve this is appreciated. Thanks Erik

- Connect the two halves.
My (probably naive) approach to clipping text in context was:
----- \starttext \startuniqueMPgraphic{context} draw btex \bf Context etex xyscaled (4.0, 4.0) withcolor .8white ; clip currentpicture to unitsquare; take something like: clip currentpicture to unitsquare scaled 8cm; and you'll know what's the problem. \stopuniqueMPgraphic \null\dontcomplain \uniqueMPgraphic{context} -----
(Without the "clip" - line, the string "Context" is displayed. With clipping, nothing is displayed.)
Any hint in the right direction towards clipping or maybe a better way to achieve this is appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks!! For the hints to existing examples as well as for the
very instructive advice to clip to the enlarged unitsquare.
