Based on a snippet from mp-gnuplot (and agreeing with your point of view that it would be nice if it worked without the extra hassle) I tend to agree with Aditya (and I seem to remember that Hans implemented \colored[r=...,g=...,b=...] command exactly when this became a problem): % Returns an image with colored text according to current color % This only makes sense for mkiv text. Mkii is handled with \sometxt % and colors are working properly there. /.../ vardef gp_colored_mkiv_text(expr str) = % since withcolor doesn't work any more, we need to provide a workaround. save r, g, b; r = redpart gp_color_current; g = greenpart gp_color_current; b = bluepart gp_color_current; rawtextext("\colored[r=" & decimal(r) & ",g=" & decimal(g) & ",b=" & decimal(b) & "]{" & str & "}") enddef; Mojca ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
