[NTG-context] Context and metapost: using \frac
Hi
I am using context to run a metapost graph. I am however unable to
insert a label with \frac, since this is not pure Tex but Latex. This
seems to be a known problem for metapost:
-Seems for metapost only, one should add %latex
(http://ryanmlayer.wordpress.com/tag/metapost/).
-I saw also one post where it was mentione done should add
//\setupMPpage[offset=1pt]
//(http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2001-March/000429.html). I tried,
but did not work however...
Any idea how I should do? Find below minimal example, that does not work
on my computer when compiling with context...
Thanks!!
Matthieu
\starttext
\setupMPpage[offset=1pt]
\switchtobodyfont[10pt]
% Beginning MetaPost graphic
\startMPpage
label.top(btex 1.4 etex scaled 1.00, (10, 10));
label.top(btex $\sigma_t$ etex scaled 1.00, (0, 10));
label.top(btex $\displaystyle \frac{\sigma_t}{a}$ etex scaled 1.00,
(1, 1));
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

best use textext ...
label.top(textext(1.4)scaled 1.00,
(10, 10));
label.top(textext($\sigma_t$) scaled 1.00, (0,
10));
label.top(textext($\displaystyle \frac{\sigma_t}{a}$) scaled 1.00, (1,
1));
works ok (only tested mkiv); also \frac is available in context

Re: [NTG-context] Context and metapost: using \frac
Dear Hans
Thanks for your quick answer! I was however not able to produce the
graph with the textext code... Should I actually then use another
compiler? I tried with context and texexec (I thought texexec is the
compiler for mkiv, right? I'm on linux ubuntu).
I saw also that, as you mention, context has a \frac:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math_with_newmat
I tried then to simply add \usemodule[newmat] and compile with context,
but did not work... Code below, error message below below...
Thanks a lot
Matthieu

no, use the 'context' command as texexec is for mkii
I saw also that, as you mention, context has a \frac:

make sure that a font is loaded that has math before \starttext is seen
(try with \setupbodyfont[palatino] at the top of your file)

ok, so I was using the right compiler I get a mystake while trying

nice and send complete file, so I can check what is wrong?

this works for me.

Thanks for answer!
Is this code you wrote supposed to be the whole doc to compile? And
compiled with context? If yes, I got an error again... I have version
context --version
MTXrun | main context file: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.tex
MTXrun | current version: 2009.11.26 16:2
Is it likel;y then that the problem is solved in more recent versions? I
would try to update then... I am on Ubuntu 10.10 64b, is there a simple
way to update from other repos, or should I compile?
Thanks for your help!!!
Matthieu
