Hi, I don't know if I can explain the problem I'm having. I made a project with 14 chapters. In each of them, there are graphics embedding metapost code. I proceed as follows : I compile each chapter alone with lmtx then I compile the project containing the 14 chapters. I didn't encounter any problems except with a graphic from the last chapter. It is indeed in chapter 14 but not in the project ! I give the code for this graph. Thanks. Fabrice
