Hello (Hans),
this minimal example worked OK in mkiv back in May (most of settings
in the code below are just unimportant cosmetics, but otherwise it's
difficult to explain the idea behind); now it still works in mkii, but
not in mkiv.
\def\mynextmpgraphic{\startMPinclusions erase_picture := 1; \stopMPinclusions}
\startusableMPgraphic{bubble}
if erase_picture = 0:
draw last_picture;
else:
% draw a new picture; in mkiv this code is only reached once,
% \mynextgraphic does not reset erase_picture
fi;
\stopusableMPgraphic
The code is ugly anyway, I know, but how should I reset variables to
redraw the picture once more?
Thanks a lot,
Mojca
