Hi,

I just tried to build my own object in metaobj but for some reason I cannot figure out it does not work. I tried the example from the metaobj manual in a tex document (it works in a metapost file):

  \startuseMPgraphic{objecttest}
    vardef newsegm...@#=
      assignObj(@#,"Segment");
      ObjPoint a,b;
      ObjCode "@#...@#a=(1cm,2cm)";
    enddef;
  \stopuseMPgraphic

When processing this with context (MkIV) I get

! Illegal parameter number in definition of \...@mpg@objecttest.
<to be read again>
                   =
<argument>  vardef newsegm...@##=
assignObj(@##,"Segment"); ObjPoint a,b; Ob...
\dostartuseMPgraphic ...leuseMPgraphic {#1}{#2}{#3
                                                  }}
l.7 \stopuseMPgraphic

My first wild guess is that it has something to do with the "evil" @-symbol. But even if this is the case I don't know what to do to fix this. Any help appreciated and thank you very much in advance.

Stefan.
