Hi LUA-users,

Yesterday I installed a complete new set of minimals on my MAC (OSX 10.4).

Now I get very strange results wit MATPOST. The file compiled contains a large definition which is used as an inclusion to produce a series of similar drawings with different parameters. When compiling the document with texexec --lua the fist page is ok. The second and the following pages contain each page all the previous drawings on top of each other.

We (blame *me*) just followed Taco's request to test the new mplib, and you are the third one to complain. I think that Taco is eagerly waiting for such bug reports :) :) :)

If you need the old working metapost, let me know.

PS: we have a nice way to go back in time with ConTeXt, but no nice way to go back in time with binaries yet.

Use the time machine :-) but Willi's Mac is too far in the past. Wolfgang

Hi Mojca, thanks for your immediate reply. - Because I have still an older version running here, I do not depend on immediate repair. - Anyway I believe there will soon be a new version of MPlib though. Kind regards Wiilli On Jul 16, 2008, at 2:55 PM, Mojca Miklavec wrote:

This is not really a bug. Willi saved the drawing in a picture variable, and each drawing simply added to the saved drawing. In mkiv, all images are processed sequentially in a single metapost job. This is quite different from mkii where each image had its own metapost run. It means that in mkiv, you have to clean up after yourself if you want your images to be independent of eachother. Best wishes, Taco

Hello, indeed, that was the problem in MKIV. - Though this runs really fast, it is to adopt a new attitude! ;-) Willi On Jul 16, 2008, at 4:38 PM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:
