[NTG-context] Re: Fwd: Re: how to apply gradient color to a piece of text?
seams this code means to put a hidden text with same size behind metapost
shape.
but it does not work properly for me (current version: 2024.04.01 08:59)
and produce empty page but with searchable hidden text.
also when i edit the code and replace metapost part like this:
\startMPcode
draw lmt_outline [
kind = "outline",
text = "\getbuffer[MyText]",
]
withcolor red
;
\stopMPcode
it produces a selectable hidden text on top of body and red text that drawn
by metapost below of that.
How can this problem be solved?
i attached the codes and pdf results.

[NTG-context] Re: how to apply metapost effects to section title?
seyal.zav...@gmail.com schrieb am 09.04.2024 um 14:53:
i want to produce a gradient header
i tried this code but it does not produce any result:
\startext
\def\Mystyle#1{\startMPcode
picture tt ; tt := lmt_outline [
kind = "path",
text = "#1",
] ;
fill
for i within tt : pathpart i && endfor cycle
withshademethod "linear"

\stopMPcode
}
\definehead[Myhead][section]
\setuphead[Myhead][
style=\Mystyle,
]
\startMyhead[title=sample] a sample text \stopMyhead
\stoptext
You can't use commands with parameters as argument for the style key.
To format single parts (number or title) of a section title you have to
apply a command to the "deep...command" key but even then you have to
make manual changes to the vertical alignment of the text.
begin example
\starttexdefinition spaces Mystyle #1
\setbox\scratchboxone\hbox{#1}%
\setbox\scratchboxtwo\hbox\bgroup
\startMPcode
picture tt ; tt := lmt_outline [
kind = "path",
text = "#1",
];
fill
for i within tt : pathpart i && endfor cycle
withshademethod "linear"
withshadedirection up
withshadecolors (red, blue) ;
\stopMPcode
\egroup
\boxyoffset\scratchboxtwo-\dp\scratchboxone
\box\scratchboxtwo
\stoptexdefinition
\starttext
\setuphead
[section]
[
deeptextcommand=\Mystyle,
% deepnumbercommand=\Mystyle,
]
\startsection[title=Lorem ipsum]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stopsection
\stoptext
end example
and the code below works but does not colorize numbers of this heads:
\starttext
\def\Mystyle#1{\startMPcode
picture tt ; tt := lmt_outline [
kind = "path",
text = "#1",
] ;
fill
for i within tt : pathpart i && endfor cycle
withshademethod "linear"
withshadedirection up
withshadecolors (red, blue) ;
\stopMPcode
}
\def\startMysection#1{\startsection[title=\Mystyle{#1}]}
\def\stopMysection{\stopsection}
\startMysection{hello}
what is best method?
\stopMysection
\stoptext
what is your suggestion?
To apply the format the the complete section title you have to create
your own style and apply it with the "command" key, to get the number
and title for the current section use the \structurenumber and
\structuretitle macros.
begin example
\starttexdefinition spaces protected Mystyle #1#2
\startMPcode
picture tt ; tt := lmt_outline [
kind = "path",
text = "\structurenumber\space\structuretitle",
];
fill
for i within tt : pathpart i && endfor cycle
withshademethod "linear"
withshadedirection up
withshadecolors (red, blue) ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptexdefinition
\starttext
\setuphead
[section]
[command=\Mystyle]
\startsection[title=Lorem ipsum]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stopsection
\stoptext
end example
