But the other \sometxt was indeed red - withcolor seems to work, but only conditionally. And I have some weird examples of two texts one after another. In some cases (if something else is drawn inbetween and a color changed twice), then the second text will be black. But it's quite unpredictable (that one might even be bug in my code, so I don't want to complain before I have an example). I while ago I also posted an interesting example with colored table (withcolor colored only some of the cells), but that is alredy a very complex example. And I can't afford to use \textext. It's was too slow (approximately factor 10) and it runs out of TeX memmory after 10 or 12 plots on average. Thanks, Mojca A question for you or Hans: can please someone explain me in a few words what's the main strategy/philosophy behind \sometxt. I don't understand exactly how TeX processes it (and metapost shrinks/expands/shifts/colors) it inline. _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
