Hello, I've used the s-pre-03 style and I encountered a problem with the generated graphics. The graphics depends on the page number and reads the page number from the PageNumber variable. Nevertheless, the variable does not get updated, it is initialized to 1 in the beginning of mpgraph.mp. It can be solved by putting PageNumber := \realfolio ; into the code, but this is a really ugly hack. Can you please track down where the PageNumber in Start/StopPage MP environment has been eaten? I expect this problem affects any generated graphics that depends on page numbers. Thank you, D.A. -- Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. -- Albert Einstein

it works fine here. The pagenumber gets updated and the bar in the bottom moves closer to the right edge on every page. Could you post a problematic example? Patrick

have you enabled the \write18 feature? When disabling it, I get only one pagenumber (the last).
My texmf.cnf says shell_escape = t. Even when I disable write18, I get PageNumber := 1 in the beginning, never updated in the subsequent figures. (I'd expect the last page number with \write18 disabled...) I was pretty sure that PageNumber variable gets update in the Start/StopPage block (although it is not documented AFAIK). What version of ConTeXt are you running? My configuration is TeXlive7 with ConTeXt 2003.3.4, respective 3.17 (latest beta). Thanks, D.A. -- Hackers of the world, unite!

can you check your meta-ini.tex? \appendtoks \includeMPgraphic{init data} \to \MPinitializations i think that i patched it a few weeks ago (because indeed this kind of data was st only once) i'll send yuo meta-ini.tex off-list Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
