Hi all,

I can't find a solution for the following example:

\starttext

\startMPpage draw origin for i=0 step 10 until 100 : ..{down}(i,0) endfor ; \stopMPpage

\startluacode context.startMPpage() context("draw origin"..for i=0,100,10 do.."..{down}("..i..",0)"..end..";") context.stopMPpage() \stopluacode

\stoptext

Can someone help? \startluacode context.startMPpage() context("draw origin") for i=0,100,10 do context(string.format("..{down}(%d,0)",i)) end context(";") context.stopMPpage() \stopluacode

also, if you want it in pure lua, you can put: context.startMPpage() context("draw origin") for i=0,100,10 do context(string.format("..{down}(%d,0)",i)) end context(";") context.stopMPpage() in demo.cld and then run context demo.cld and the following also works: context.startMPpage() context("draw origin") for i=0,100,10 do context("..{down}(%d,0)",i) end context(";") context.stopMPpage() that is: format is built in 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Or is this deprecated?

no, it's just lua sttring concatination ... it all depends on taste ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
