Hi,
I have two questions concerning MP graphics.
What's going on here? The “abcdefghi” text is not displayed in the second
graphic and the “A” is stretched to match the size of the first graphic. Can
someone explain why this happens and if this is expected?
\startreusableMPgraphic{foo}
draw textext("abcdefghi");
picture p; p := currentpicture;
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\startreusableMPgraphic{bar}
addto currentpicture also p; %% not printed
draw textext("A"); %% distorted
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\starttext
\reuseMPgraphic{foo}
\reuseMPgraphic{bar}
\stoptext
Does \includeMPgraphic only work with useMPgraphics (in contrast to
reusableMPgraphic)?
%% works with useMPgraphics, though
\startreusableMPgraphic{alpha}
draw textext("abcdefghi");
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\startreusableMPgraphic{beta}
\includeMPgraphic{alpha}
draw textext("A"); %% not printed
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\starttext
\reuseMPgraphic{alpha}
\reuseMPgraphic{beta}
\stoptext
For each graphic context will remember the text picture. so, in your
case, the stored p in the first graphic has a reference to a text
picture (index 1) but it's the one created in the second graphic (also
index 1). There are no persistent text pictures (yet).
