Indeed the no-break spaces were the problem, something I had quite overlooked (so have made a 'message to brain' not to overlook this in the future). I did know about the use of %, but if one searches on the Contextgarden Wiki for \nobreakspace, one finds nothing. Clearly a TeX command that

Hi, I updated ConTeXt yesterday and went through troubles with reflectedabout. This snippet of code \starttext \startMPpage path p[]; p1:= unitcircle scaled 10; p2:= p1 reflectedabout ((15u,-15u),(15u,15)); draw p1; draw p2; \stopMPpage \stoptext doesn't compile with the following error

Dear list, Thanks to Hans, I am now able to use the ConTeXt graph module with LMTX. However, I noticed that the tick/grid labels are drawn with the same parameters as the tick/grid marks. For example grid.bot("@d", 1) withcolor red; will draw the grid line AND "1" in red. The original

Really? I wouldn't see it this way. I wondered a bit about the number of primitives shown in the document of Joaquín, but that they are used certainly doesn't make context like plaintex. I have calculated the number of primitives from the list made in "TeX Reference Manual" by David Bausum
