Hi there,
i'm having problems with metapost and positional graphics in mkIV.
Here is a small test file that compiles OK with texexec but fails to
compile with context:
% the beginning
\defineoverlay[frames][\positionoverlay{frames}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=frames]
\startMPpositiongraphic{frame}
initialize_box(\MPpos{\MPvar{self}});
draw llxy--lrxy--urxy--ulxy--cycle;
\stopMPpositiongraphic
\startpositionoverlay{frames}
\setMPpositiongraphic{one}{frame}
\setMPpositiongraphic{two}{frame}
\stoppositionoverlay
\starttext
This \hpos{one}{word} should be \hpos{two}{framed}.
\stoptext
% the end
My system is a Debian Testing, but I don't believe that it is related to
the distribution, as this example also fails
in the context online compiler @ http://live.contextgarden.net/
The problem seems located around the initialize_box macro.
Any help will be much appreciated.
AG.
Here is the entire output when compiling:
