[NTG-context] Passing variables into context
Hi all,
I've been trying to make a metapost graphic, based on the \textwidth. However,
it seems I can't just pass in \textwidth as an option. For example, the
following breaks:
\startuniqueMPgraphic{HLine}
draw origin -- (\MPvar{width}, 0mm);
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\starttext
\setupMPvariables[HLine][width=\textwidth]
\uniqueMPgraphic{HLine}
\stoptext
with the following error:
mplib | mp terminal: textwidth
! Undefined x coordinate has been replaced by 0.
to be read again
;
* ...d:=3441; draw origin -- (\textwidth , 0mm);
It seems that the \textwidth option is not expanded before being passed to MP.
Is there any way to force this expansion? I've tried \expandafter (without
really understanding what that does), but that didn't help.
I've tried putting this graphic as an overlay under an \framed, which allows
me to use the \overlaywidth macro in metapost (which I assume is expanded
specially by context?). This worked, but is not very elegant. Is there
something more straightforward possible?

Re: [NTG-context] Passing variables into context
Hi Taco, You should try \the\textwidth Thanks, that works. Could you enlighten me as to what \the does and why this helps? Does Context treat \the specially within metapost code (which seems so, since there are more \the examples in the metafun manual), or is it expanded before getting inserted into metapost? Using this in arithmetic gets slightly more complicated (0.5\the\textwidth doesn't work, but since this gets put into metapost, 0.5 * \the\textwidth does work). Gr.

Does Context treat \the specially within metapost code (which seems so, since there are more \the examples in the metafun manual), or is it expanded before getting inserted into metapost? \the is an expandable command that 'converts' internal tex parameters into their value. The expansion takes places during \edef (like inside \expanded) or during write to a buffer. Using this in arithmetic gets slightly more complicated (0.5\the\textwidth doesn't work, but since this gets put into metapost, 0.5 * \the\textwidth does work). If you want a single value inside mpost, you could use \dimexpr to do the calculation in tex.

[NTG-context] virtual fonts in luatex?
Hi all, I'm running into a problem, but maybe not all hope is lost. For my Greek stuff, I will sometimes need a dotbelowcomb accent. Only very few fonts have that, but no problem, in mkiv, I can simply take that from a follback font: \definefontfallback [GreekFallback] [name:texgyretermesregular] [0x0323] [force=no,check=no] Now I would like to remap the exclam character to this dotbelowcom. Again, no problem: with a fea file, I can write a sub rule sub exclam by dotbelowcomb but I can't combine both approaches: if the font doesn't have the character, I get an error about invalid glyph index. In good old pdftex, it was possible to define a virtual font for such occasions, and I seem to remember that there's something similar in mkiv, but I'm unsure how it can be done. Any pointers?

[NTG-context] framedtext in naturaltables
Hi,
If I put
\startframedtext[frame=off,background=screen,width=broad]\stopframedtext

aligns at top.
Can you say me please how to get a right behaviour?
