Taco,
Thanks for looking into. I would have responded earlier but our
server was out of the air)
This is a stripped down version without all the files for
demonstration, because too big to be send at once.
But the observations are clear now.
I have made a minimal example and done some variations. See file
test.tex and testfig.tex
1. including my own metapost macroset for Label (custom.mp)
gives different results for \forceMPTEXgraphictrue --
\forceMPTEXgraphicfalse
undefined as label for true, unknown as label for false
2. draw textext gives in both cases label undefined.
I did an extensive series of experiments and nailed the problem into
the context base files in the change from 2006-05-28 to 2006-06-07.
What I did was:
1. back to version 2006-05-28
changed metafun.mem to an earlier generated one
set \forceMPTEXgraphictrue in cont-sys.tex
generated formats
typesetting ok
2. generated metafun.mem afresh with texmfstart texexec --make alone
metafun
typesetting ok
3. changed the ruby scripts over to the 2006-06-07 ones.
typesetting ok
4. changed the context base files in tex/context/base to their
2006-06-07 ones
did texhash
did texmfstart texexec --make en nl
checked format versions
typesetting not ok
Now many things having to do with metapost go wrong, among these:
textext, (inline) textbackground.
5. move out the context base files in tex/context/base of 2006-06-07
texhash
regenerate formats
typesetting ok again
I do not know why this does occur on my MacOSX system and obviously
not on other systems.
But the effect is demonstrably their.
Could it be something in the communication between TeX and Metapost?
Or something related end-of-line stuff?
file test.tex:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupbodyfont[cmr]
\input testfig
\starttext
\placefigure[][fig:figtest]{Test figure}{\useMPgraphic{testfig}
{width=40mm,height=20mm}}
\stoptext
file testfig.tex:
\startuseMPgraphic{testfig}{width,height}
w = \MPvar{width};
h = \MPvar{height};
% framing figure
pickup pensquare scaled 2pt;
draw origin -- (w,0) -- (w,h) -- (0,h) -- cycle;
% With these two statements the output = test1.pdf resultant label:
unknown
% \input custom.mp
% Label("TEXTEXT", (w/2,h/2)) withcolor red;
% alas, these files could not be included
% With this statement the output = test2.pdf resultant label: undefined
draw textext("TEXTEXT") shifted (w/2,h/2);
\stopuseMPgraphic
\endinput
