It is not quite a bug either, because there may well be MP code out there that depends on this. In fact, probably code by Knuth, Hobby, Jacko, and Hans ;-) Well, now to be honest: color zero (not 0 setgray, but the first color in Gnuplot) is not supposed to be black, but should be foreground color according to the guidelines (not that other divices are configurable in that respect, but anyway). So it might indeed make more sense to inherit the textcolor. What do you think? I spotted the problem when I was using a dark background with white text on it. I'm not sure if I indeed want black or not. I want to make the colors configurable anyway (which they're currently not, but I have to figure out how to do that first), probably with something like \defineconversion[color set x][white,red,yellow,green] \setupGNUPLOT[colorset=color set x] % or perhaps even something like foregroundcolor|maincolor=white So I actually liked the fact that the numbers on the plot were white without having to configure anything (red and green were clearly seen on the background), but the plot as a whole was useless since the borders were still black invisible and on some plots some text was black as well (in a pseudo random way). So rather than using that hack I would prefer to ask: which color should I define in the module to make the border of the same color as textcolor? Or (a question for later, it's not on the top priority right now): how can I extract the color from \setupGNUPLOT[foregroundcolor=yellow] and store it to a variable color gp_foregroundcolor; defined in a module? Any other thoughts about it? A question for you or Hans: can please someone explain me in a few words what's the main strategy/philosophy behind \sometxt.

[NTG-context] metafun \sometxt: should black be black or textcolor?
Hello,
Does anyone have any idea about what's going on here? I get blue text,
but a black square, although both are supposed to come out black (I
wouldn't mind so much, but the problem is that some text is blue and
some is black - I have some other testcases where this happens, but I
have to create a minimal example first).
\setupcolors
[state=start,textcolor=blue]
\starttext
\startMPcode
draw \sometxt{abc} withcolor black; % come out blue
draw \sometxt{def} shifted (3cm,0) withcolor red;
draw unitsquare xyscaled (3cm,2cm) withcolor black;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
Thanks,
Mojca

[NTG-context] couple of metafun questions
Hi all, I'm experimenting with some metafun code and positional graphics to produce a nice illustration for an article. There's some basic questions I haven't been able to solve (and I remember that I couldn't solve them before but found workarounds, but this time it looks like I'm stuck): 1. Is it possible to have a MPpositiongraphics anchored to more than two positions? Like draw position1 -- position2 .. position3 ? 2. Related to 1.: Is it right that you can't anchor more than 1 MPpositiongraphic to one anchor? If I have: drawsomething position1 -- position2 I can't then say drawsomething position1 .. position3 but must work around by reversing drawsomething position3 .. position1 3. Is it possible to get a line/arrow dashed in two different colors, like red and blue? Sorry if these are silly questions, but I just dabble into metafun! Thanks, and best Thomas ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Just out of curiosity I tried the following: picture dp; draw dashpattern(on 2 off 6) scaled 5pt withcolor blue; draw dashpattern(off 4 on 2 off 2) scaled 5pt withcolor red; dp := currentpicture; draw origin--(5cm,0) dashed dp; But of course ! Picture is too complicated to use as a dash pattern. So you have to draw the path twice with different color and pattern (you can write a macro for it of course if you need it often). beginfig(1); pickup pencircle scaled 2pt; picture dp[]; dp[1] := dashpattern(on 2 off 6) scaled 3pt; dp[2] := dashpattern(off 4 on 2 off 2) scaled 3pt; path p; p := (origin ..

I am trying to do the following in Metapost but my new math symbol is
not recognized.
Context knows about it but Tex does not.
How can I make this work ?
Hans and Taco have already explained the correct way to do this, so I
will not go into that. This is one place where you can use the new
sometxt feature.
% = Test code
\loadmapfile[original-youngryu-tx.map]
\definebodyfont [28pt,24pt,18pt,
17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt,4pt] [mm] [
mc=txexa sa 1]
\setupbodyfont [11pt]
\definemathsymbol [varointctrclockwise] [op] [mc] [2B] [mc] [2C]
\starttext
\startformula
\varointctrclockwise_{\gamma} f(z) \: dz = 0
\stopformula
\startMPcode
picture p ;
path q;
numeric u;
u := 1cm;
p := btex $\varointctrclockwise_{\gamma} f(z) \: dz = 0$ etex;
Replace this by
p := \sometxt{$\varointctrclockwise_{\gamma} f(z) \: dz = 0$} ;
and everything works!
I was wondering about the \sometxt feature, I did not know exactly how
to use it, but will certainly do
some experiments. Thanks Wim.
p := p scaled 0.15cm;
draw p;

[NTG-context] metafun color broken?
I used to draw in transparent color in MetaFun with: newinternal tfill_mode; tfill_mode := 1; % transparency mode for inside newinternal tfill_fact; tfill_fact := 1; % transparency factor for inside def withFillColor = withcolor transparent(tfill_mode, tfill_fact, fillcolor_) enddef; fill somepath withFillColor;Suddenly (since the june update I guess) this fails.Because fill somepath withcolor fillcolor_;is still working I wonder if something has done to this transparency business.If there was a change, why?

Re: [NTG-context] metafun color broken?
After posting this problem I did probe a lot further in this and a
similar problem.
As I reported shortly, the problem goes away when solely replacing in
supp-mps.tex the line
\ifx\TEXEXECcommand \undefined \def\TEXEXECcommand{texmfstart
texexec} \fi
by
\ifx\TEXEXECcommand \undefined \def\TEXEXECcommand{texexec} \fi
This gives me the impression it might not be in context itself,
especially since to my (inexperienced) eye there are no or few
changes between the working and nonworking versions that might
explain the problem.
It might be the change from the perl to the ruby scripts with a
problem in one of the latter.
I expect Hans or Taco to react soon with there usual speed and will
await for their comments first.

Replying off-list since I have no place to test anything and no

I know that Hans has played with transparency at the beginning of May
in order to enable it in XeTeX (but that should happen/break already
earlier then), but I can't help you any further. Normar with color
transparent worked a couple of days ago as far as I can remember, but
I might have had an older version installed (from May).
However: I would like to ask you to commit such examples (you have
much more bug reports everywhere) to contexttest suite, see
I usually do this when in doubt if my code is right.
But in this case formerly perfectly working code is suddenly broken.
And of course I need to run my production and development runs on my
own machine, so I have to solve it for that one.

Because

During the run (texexec ) I get the message - Metapost capacity exceeded and a part of the drawing is missing. I followed the thread -TeX capacity exceeded with metafun- and increased the memory size in texmf.cnf but this is not the solution!

[NTG-context] metafun boxes
Hi all, Yesterday, I have tried to put \input boxes within a MPgraphic. As a result, I obtain errors at compilation. After discussing this issue with Taco on #context, it appears that boxes.mp and metafun interaction is not safe at all. Ok, but since my needs remain the same, solutions are : 1. just do it, but manually (not smart at all) 2. use metapost then include the result in my document through ps or pdf files (this solution needs the user takes care of fonts + manually metaposting - not really smart) 3. use charts (but depends on what you want achieve - ok, but not for all purposes) 4. define some metafun macros (time consuming at the beginning but it's best to invest for the long term) X. others solutions I don't know yet... (feel free to add yours !) My thought is to finally obtain in metafun: 1. Nodes with text (multiline text!) and a collection of simple shapes to use like box, circle, box with rounded corner... 2. Nodes must be placed freely accroding to the metapost coordinate system 3. Connections between nodes (using boundaries of each nodes + possibility to give angles from...to for each connections) PSTricks can do that but it can be nice if metafun can provide this kind of features. See http://renolab.lrv.uvsq.fr/perso/ConTeXt/sample.png to have an idea (nodes are aligned in this figure but it is a particular case)... Maybe a solution exists, but since I don't know it, I send this post: 1. Are other people interested ? 2. What is the best solution to implement this feature in metafun ? My idea is to use \framed + shapes + path + ...

Shouldn't that be input boxes; in a MPinclusions?
X. others solutions I don't know yet... (feel free to add yours !)
Have a look at metaobj.
My thought is to finally obtain in metafun:
1. Nodes with text (multiline text!)
Place inside a framed
and a collection of simple shapes to use like box, circle, box
with rounded corner...
Metaobj provides all basic shapes
2. Nodes must be placed freely accroding to the metapost coordinate
system
Metaobj provides a better interface to placement. You can specify the
distance and alignment between the nodes.
3. Connections between nodes (using boundaries of each nodes +
possibility to give angles from...to for each connections)
Has all of that
See http://renolab.lrv.uvsq.fr/perso/ConTeXt/sample.png to have an idea
See the example below. metaobj has some bugs and limitations, but
works as expected most of the time.

you can try (on a mp file):

I traced the problem of getting annoying \loadfontfilesoncetrue
undefined messages down to the line 2936 in texexec.pl, sub RunMPX:
if ( ( $Format eq '' ) || ( $Format =~ /^cont.*/io ) ) {
RunConTeXtFile( $MpTmp, tex );
} else {
RunSomeTeXFile( $MpTmp, tex );
}
The first subroutine (RunConTeXtFile) is executed (as it should be),
but it calls TeX instead of ConTeXt (format) and I have no idea how
to change this behaviour. That's why all ConTeXt commands are
undefined.
The same is true for tex.rb, line 1442:
if context then
ok = RunConTeXtFile(mptex)
else
ok = RunSomeTeXFile(mptex)
end
It goes into the first part of the if sentence, but it nevertheless
runs (plain) tex. Except that in this time it was far from evident for
me where this RunConTeXtFile came from (I didn't see the definition
anywhere except if it calls Perl at that place).

Might be. I also heard from some latex people that they had problems

However, I discovered something strange in the log files in temporary
folder (they were left there while I stil had the crashing version of
pdfTeX). Log files about processing mpx314.tex files have preloaded
format=plain in them. Is it possible that they are processed with the
wrong switch for MikTeX (with its own specifics)? This might explain
the loadfontfileonce and other errors. There's usually no chance to
see those log files (if pdfTeX didn't crash, I wouldn't see them).
PdfTeX in standalone ConTeXt crashes before that, so it just manages
to create some trash empty directory which is deleted again after I
click no, don't report that error to Microsoft, please.
mailing list archives and found out that that problems was already
present in 2002 and that someone solved it by deleting all ConTeXt
files from MikTeX. I don't understand why since I have fresh MikTeX
distribution on the computer, but I'll try that.
maybe some old cont-sys.tex file?
Which one I just realized that there are actually two cont-sys.
One from user/cont-sys.rme and the other one from base/cont-sys.ori.
They are (almost) identical.
I have overwritten the MikTeX dir with files from cont-tfm.zip. And
now MikTeX crashes (crashed, I'm writing this mail in non-cronological
order) with the sample mentioned below as well. (OK, there were two
minor mistakes in the sample files I've put online, but no reason why
pdfTeX should crash on it. pdfTeX crashes approximately on the moment
when mpx files are generated.)
I used MikTeX on another computer and during playing with those
cont-sys.tex and cont-usr.tex, refreshing remaking formats, the
behaviour changed from non-crashing into the crashing one, but I don't
manage to repeat that behaviour on my computer. Since I came back, it
doesn't crash any more. Mist.
[again one paragraph that should be written in past tense] But on my
computer I simply don't manage to change anything. Keeps crashing
while processing those mpx files and after that it complains that
context-specific commands are unknown (seems as if everything between
btex ... etex would be processed with latex). Is it OK that those
mpx314 files end with \end{document}?
Is there any way to explore why the crash would happen? I get An
unhandled win32 exception occured in pdfetex.exe [2384], 3164, 812,
1752, 2776, ...

Yes, that is 'normal': plain TeX (and thereby ConTeXt) only sees the
\end command, and LaTeX/SliTeX sees the whole \end{document} (this
stuff was written before ConTeXt became popular).

A (likely) candidate is an (software-ignored) attempt to write to
a file that is still in use by another application. It is quite
possible that this is the result of an I/O timing error that is in
itself caused by a misconfigured win32 install (harddisks in ms-dos
compatility mode, for example, or soundcard that share interrupts
with the harddisk controller.
The crash information means absolutely nothing to me, sorry.

[NTG-context] metafun: problems, problems problems again
Hello, This metafun will soon drive me crazy. 1. I can't make textext work Once upon a time I only had problems in MikTeX, now standone is causing me problems as well. I have: - write18 / -shell-escape enabled - \runMPgraphicstrue \runMPTEXgraphicstrue \useMETAFUNformattrue \protectbufferstrue enabled (I don't know where to look further). But I still get no figures at all under MikTeX and undefined labels with the standalone. 2. mptopdf doesn't work under MikTeX (as already mentioned), but that's not so critical since I can still use texmfstart or write my own .bat file to run it 3. metafun reformats the whole metapost source (including that in verbatin) and so you can never predict what will come out; often the TeX commands fail to work and while it's possible to easily debug plain metapost sources, metafun swallows most of the error warnings somehow, so you don't get any output, but no error reports either. 4. I have problems with \loadfontfilesoncetrue. I searched through mailing list archives and found out that that problems was already present in 2002 and that someone solved it by deleting all ConTeXt files from MikTeX. I don't understand why since I have fresh MikTeX distribution on the computer, but I'll try that. 5. I hoped to be able to use gnuplot with context terminal, but the file I produced crashes pdfetex 1.30.3--2.2 (in stand-alone distro). 1.21a under MikTeX doesn't crash, but since there is no output it might be that the older version never gets to the point where it would crash. A very rare event. The files that make the pdftex crash are located here: http://pub.mojca.org/gnuplot/pdftex-crash/ Thanks a lot for any help suggestions, Mojca ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] using symbols in MetaFun
Thank you very much to both of you! This works perfectly and just the
way I wanted.
I have some other questions, but I have to write exact specification(s) first.
(The whole documentation for implementing 3D features is approximately
read the cryptic implementation in PostScript, figure out what it
does and implement it that way in your terminal. I hate that, but
I'll try to come through it. I'll report as soon as there will be
something functional available.)
Thanks a lot for all the help,

I am very much a beginner at metafun, so the following is probably
garbage, but to its defence I can say that it actually achieves the
goal :)
There are two files:
% myenv.tex: contains the symbol definition
\usesymbols[jmn]
\defineconversion
[gnuplot]
[$\bullet$,
$\circ$,
$\star$,
x,
{\symbol[navigation 1][NextJump]}]

\environment myenv
\startMPinclusions
def draw_symbol(expr X, Y, Number) =
label(textext(char 92 input myenv
char 92 convertnumber{gnuplot}{

enddef
\stopMPinclusions
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic
draw_symbol(0,0,3);
\stopuseMPgraphic

I could not figure out how to use a 'verbatimtex' preamble either,
so this loads the myenv definition file for each label. Ugly, but
the best I can manage with my current knowledge.

It's the same error as trying to “plot” the MP code
1;
MetaPost is confused since it has no idea what to do with that number
and tells you so. Since MP can handle more than just numbers, you get a
slightly more general error message that talks about an “expression”
rather than a “number.”
What you can do is something like
\starttext
\startusableMPgraphic{sin}
for x := 0 step 0.6282 until 6.282:
drawdot(10*x, 10*sin(x)) withpen pencircle scaled 1pt;
endfor
\stopusableMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{sin}
\stoptext
Or, you can use the fact that in MetaPost you can build up an expression
within a for loop as follows:
\starttext
\startusableMPgraphic{sin}
draw (0,0)
for x := 0 step 0.2 until 6.282: ..(10*x, 10*sin(x)) endfor;
\stopusableMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{sin}
\stoptext
I think it really helps with MP programming to understand this type of
loops.

it's a tricky thins:
in order to determine a suffix programs/scripts assume that in 01.01.01 the last 01 is the suffix (there is no rule that tex is the suffix, it's just the built in fallback);
someprogram 01.01.01
someprogram 01.01.01.tex
is different. The multiple suffixes always test for a tex file first but that results in two file searches each time (slows down).
texexec 01.01.01.tex works ok
texexec 01.01.01 fails
newtexexec fails in both cases (i will look into that)
It's kind of tricky to auto append tex since nowadasy we have xml and other
variants ..

Re: [NTG-context] metafun not working
Hello, I have problems with this graphic too. First I noticed that I don't have pstoedit installed on my computer. I downloaded version 3.40 from http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit. When I now run this MP code I get a Windows (xp) errormessage: Unhandled exception in pstoedit.exe (STDDRIVERS.DLL): 0xC005: Access Violation. But I get the graphic rendered. Any suggestions?

Some new operators were added to ghostscript's internal array of operators without increasing the maximum size of the array. This led to the problem, that pstoedit couldn't add further operators. ... I tried it out before reading that paragraph and I can approve: unless you have an ancient GS, it doesn't work at all. 3.40 at least does something even though it crashes.
