Re: [NTG-context] metafun transformation error
Hi, > here a ; is missing after the q That was a silly mistake while making the MWE. When I corrected it, the MWE compiled correctly. However, the original code didn't have that error and wouldn't compile. So, I tried another MWE and found out what was causing the error. In the array I defined, there were two elements with empty string as their value. Once I changed those empty strings to some valid string, there was no error and the file compiled as expected. Here is the new MWE with one array element defined as empty string \starttext \switchtobodyfont[30pt] \startMPpage StartPage ; unit := 2 * cm ; %numeric lm, row, col, bm; pair middle; row := 1; col := 1; picture p, q ; p := nullpicture; q := nullpicture; string l[], lbl; l[0] := "" ; l[1]:= "2"; for i= 0 upto row: middle := 0.5[((( i * unit) ), ((2 * unit))), i+1) * unit) ), ((2 * unit) ))]; lbl := l[i]; p := thelabel(lbl, middle); q := p reflectedabout (0.5[urcorner p, ulcorner p], 0.5[lrcorner p, llcorner p]); draw q; endfor StopPage ; \stopMPpage \stoptext This will throw an error. If l[0] is defined as, say, "hi", there is no error I suppose, my work around would be to use a non empty string and then fill that cell dark. Is there another way? Anyway, thanks for your prompt replies and patience.

I am trying to print some numbers in a grid onto a transparent sheet as mirror images so that the numbers are correctly displayed when I view it from the non printed side. The numbers have a particular sequence which cannot be obtained from calculations. So, they are stored in an array of strings : l[0][0] := "38"; ... I place them at the centre of the grid squares using the code below: for i= 0 upto (row - 1): for j= 0 upto (col - 1): middle := 0.5[((( i * unit) + lm), ((j * unit) + bm)), i+1) * unit) + lm), (((j +1) * unit) + bm))]; p := thelabel(l[j][i], middle); draw p; % q := p reflectedabout (0.5[urcorner p, ulcorner p], 0.5[lrcorner p, llcorner p]); % draw q; endfor endfor This works as expected. But, when I try to reflect the label by means of the commented code, I get an error : tex error > mp error on line 643 in file /home/ajith/Desktop/PlayGround/numgrid.tex: (xpart T_,ypart T_,-0.00581xpart T_+0.00497ypart T_+0.15294,-0.00497xpart T_ -0.00581ypart T_+0.98824,-0.00497xpart T_-0.00581ypart T_+0.98825,0.00581xpart T_-0.00497ypart T_-0.15294) !

Proceed, and I'll omit the transformation. I tried a mock example without the loops and that didn't throw an error. How can I make it work within the loops? In order answer that you have to make a MWE that we can run without the need to edit a file.
