Hello, I'm having some trouble with MPgraphics; here is a minimal example: ............................. \setupoutput[pdftex] \runMPgraphicstrue \setuppapersize[S6][S6] \setupcolors[state=start] \startMPinclusions numeric u; u=.8cm; path AX; AX = drawdblarrow (10u,0) -- (0,0) -- (0,10u); \stopMPinclusions \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{dummy} pickup pencircle scaled 1mm; draw AX withcolor blue; label.rt(textext("$3x^2+\pi$"), (5u,6u)); \stopuseMPgraphic \placefigure[left]{bla.bla}{\useMPgraphic{dummy}} \input dawkins \stoptext ............................. After compilation with texexec I get "unknown" instead of the expected label. What is wrong with me? TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeXk, 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) context : ver: 2005.10.27 cont-en : ver: 2005.10.27 fmt: 2006.4.28 mes: english Thanks ia -- Jean

draw + drawdblarrow = ?! \setupoutput[pdftex] \runMPgraphicstrue \setuppapersize[S6][S6] \setupcolors[state=start] \startMPinclusions numeric u; u=.8cm; path AX; AX = (10u,0) -- (0,0) -- (0,10u); \stopMPinclusions \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{dummy} pickup pencircle scaled 1mm; drawdblarrow AX withcolor blue; label.rt(textext("$3x2+\pi$"), (5u,6u)); \stopuseMPgraphic \placefigure[left]{bla.bla}{\useMPgraphic{dummy}} \input dawkins \stoptext works...

Hi Jean Magnan, You should add \useMPlibrary[txt] in order to get textext working. Further define AX as a path only. In the dummy-graphic say drawdblarrow AX.withcolor blue; After these changes I got the label as well as the double arrow. Kind regards Willi Jean Magnan de Bornier wrote:

Hi Jean Magnan,

You should add \useMPlibrary[txt] in order to get textext working. Further define AX as a path only. In the dummy-graphic say drawdblarrow AX.withcolor blue;

After these changes I got the label as well as the double arrow. Hi,

Hi, Actually I tried your file and got the same "Undefined" message in place of the graphics. However the following works for me (latest ConTeXt installed with i- Installer on Mac OS X 10.4.6): \setuppapersize[S6][S6] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \startbuffer[essai] numeric u; u = .4cm; path p; p = (10u,0)--(0,0)--(0,10u); pickup pencircle scaled .8mm; drawdblarrow p withcolor red; label.rt(textext("$3x^2+\pi$"), (5u,6u)); \stopbuffer \placefigure[left]{bla.bla}{\processMPbuffer[essai]} \input dawkins \stoptext If I add \useMPlibrary[txt] at the beginning everything works fine as well. But if I add \runMPgraphicstrue then I get the "Undefined" message in the PDF. So it seems that the problem comes from this latter command. Best regards: OK

So it seems that the problem comes from this latter command. Hi all, I tried various ways as suggested on my file with the setups \useMPlibrary[txt] and \runMPgraphicstrue. The only combination that's working is to have \useMPlibrary[txt] and not the other. Is it proper to my installation, as others seem to have other requirements?

As for "texmfstart texexec" it is unknown on my machine, I don't have ruby installed anyway (is it necessary?). Thanks to all! -- jean

Your first message said that you were running texexec.pl. Try switching to texexec.rb, i.e., invoke context with texmfstart texexec <filename> Aditya

texmfstart texexec <filename>

the file compiles ok here textext is scanned for (but you can force it with \forceMPTEXgraphictrue) This is what supp-mps defined: \forceMPTEXcheck{etex} \forceMPTEXcheck{textext} \forceMPTEXcheck{graphictext} 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Jean Magnan,

You should add \useMPlibrary[txt] in order to get textext working.

Why is this so? I could not find anything in meta-txt.tex to suggest that it is needed for textext. The example works even without \useMPlibrary[txt]. Aditya
