Hi,
I am trying to achieve the following:
\setMPtext{1}{ABC}
\setMPtext{2}{DEF}
\setMPtext{3}{GHI}
\starttext
\startMPpage[offset=1ex,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
for i=1 upto 3:
draw textext(\MPstring{i}) shifted(i*cm,i*cm) ;
endfor;
\stopMPpage
\stoptext
There is no error but no content either. What's wrong?
Another way to do this is to use
\TeXtext{1}{ABC} etc.
and then call
draw sometxt(i)
For Sec 4.5 of Mojca's my way on sometxt
http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/sometxt.pdf
Thank you for the tip, I tried it, but sometext seems deprecated in
mkiv ("[do we need TeXtexts in MkIV]").
I've different buffers named 1–12 and would like to pipe them to
Metapost. I thought I could use a textext(\getbuffer[i])-construct, it
failed. So I tried it with \setMPtext{}{} …
What is the approach to achieve this?
Thank you in advance,
Andreas
