Metapost problem: It seems that sometxt and textext behave different.This is my macro:% Label with text and centerpositionvardef [EMAIL PROTECTED](expr labeltext, pos) = save pic; picture pic; if picture labeltext: pic := labeltext; else: if labeltext = "": pic := nullpicture; else: % prevent wobbling of text boxes with uneven depth% TEXTEXT line: pic := textext("\setbox0=\hbox{"labeltext"}\dp0=0pt\box0"); % since ConTeXt 14-7-2006 textext = sometxt% SOMETXT line: %pic := sometxt("\setbox0=\hbox{"labeltext"}\dp0=0pt\box0"); fi fi % calculate labelshift from suffix save shift; pair shift; shift = ((penX/2 + labeloffset) * xpart [EMAIL PROTECTED],(penY/2 + labeloffset) * ypart [EMAIL PROTECTED])- ([EMAIL PROTECTED] * lrcorner pic + [EMAIL PROTECTED] * ulcorner pic+ (1 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED]) * llcorner pic); % deliver picture shifted in position pic shifted (pos + shift)enddef;With textext enabled it just works as I intend.With sometxt enabled I get: unknown picture pic sometxt! Equation cannot be performed (unknown picture=numeric).to be read again (theLabel-...":pic:=nullpicture;else:pic:=sometxt( "\setbox0=\hbox{"(EXPR3)...l.211 Label("TEXTEXT", (w/2,h/2)) withcolor red;Thus while textext delivers a picture sometxt does not. This seems strange, because I understood that sometxt was meant as a dropin replacement for textext (except for MP loops, as Hans Hagen mentioned in a previous email).Is this correct or do I have to make more changes to switch over from textext to sometxt?
