Dear Hans,your mwe works when the color of the „inner“ effect layer is defined differently to the default document color.
But when I define the color of the „outer“ effect layer differently to the default document color, there is an unwanted offset.
How can I get rid of the offset?
%generating an unwanted offset:
\startTEXpage
\setupeffect[outer][rulethickness=1pt]
\startoverlay
{\starteffect[outer]\red%
hello!%
\stopeffect}
{\starteffect[inner]
hello!%
\stopeffect}
\stopoverlay
\stopTEXpage
%not generating the unwanted offset:
\startTEXpage
\setupeffect[outer][rulethickness=1pt]
\startoverlay
{\starteffect[outer]%
hello!%
\stopeffect}
{\starteffect[inner]\red
hello!%
\stopeffect}
\stopoverlay
\stopTEXpage

Thank you.I’m still curious if the developers (Hans, …?) agree with me on the need for improvement of the lmt_outline feature. Would be nice to hear a feedback.No matter what direction you run, things like this always are sensitive for overlap, so the two-step drawing is what i'd use.Btw, you can also do this, for less huge shadows: \startTEXpage \setupeffect[outer][rulethickness=1pt] \startoverlay {\starteffect[outer]%Auflage Zupfinstrument {\notonaskharabic \textdir TRT کرن}%\stopeffect} {\starteffect[inner]\red Auflage Zupfinstrument {\notonaskharabic \textdir TRT کرن}% \stopeffect} \stopoverlay \stopTEXpageBest regards Emanuel On 13 Oct 2025, at 13:35, Mikael Sundqvist wrote: Hi, Is it an option to draw twice? \startMPpage[offset=1DK] draw lmt_outline [ text = "Auflage Zupfinstrument", kind = "draw", drawcolor = "blue", rulethickness = 4, ] scaled 10 ; draw lmt_outline [ text = "Auflage Zupfinstrument", kind = "both", fillcolor=white, drawcolor = "white", ] scaled 10 ; \stopMPpage /Mikael On Mon, Oct 13, 2025 at 6:23 AM Emanuel Han via ntg-context [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> wrote: Dear list,it seems that when using lmt_outline and kind=„reverse“, thedrawing order is drawcolor of letter one, then fillcolor of letter one, then drawcolor of letter two, then fillcolor ofletter two, and so on. The result is that the previous letters are covered by the drawcolor of the following letters, which isnot beautiful and makes the text less readable. I think the correct drawing order should be drawcolor of all letters, then fillcolor of all letters.Btw ligatures (fl in „Auflage“ and fi in „Zupfinstrument“ infollowing mwe) are spared from this cumbersome behavior.I need the desired behavior with Arabic text at the moment, butany script is actually affected. \mainlanguage[de] \definefontfeature[default] [mode=node,liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes, ccmp=yes,language=dflt, protrusion=quality, expansion=quality] \definefontfeature[fea] [mode=node, language=dflt, script=arab, init=yes, medi=yes, fina=yes, isol=yes, calt=yes, rlig=yes, tlig=yes, trep=yes, curs=yes, kern=yes, mark=yes ] \starttypescript [serif] [notonaskharabic] \definefontsynonym [notonaskharabic-Light] [name:notonaskharabic] [features=fea]\definefontsynonym [notonaskharabic-Bold] [name:notonaskharabic][features=fea] \definefontsynonym [notonaskharabic-Italic] [name:notonaskharabic] [features=fea] \definefontsynonym [notonaskharabic-Bold-Italic] [name:notonaskharabic] [features=fea] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [notonaskharabic] \usetypescript[serif][fallback]\definefontsynonym [Serif] [notonaskharabic-Light] [features=fea]\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [notonaskharabic-Italic] [features=fea]\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [notonaskharabic-Bold] [features=fea]\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [notonaskharabic-Bold- Italic] [features=fea] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [notonaskharabic]\definetypeface [notonaskharabic] [rm] [serif] [notonaskharabic][default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[notonaskharabic] \definecolor [transparentgray] [s=.9,t=.8,a=1] \starttext \startMPcode{doublefun} draw lmt_outline [text = "Auflage Zupfinstrument {\notonaskharabic \textdir TRT کرن}",kind = "fill", fillcolor = "black", drawcolor = "transparentgray", rulethickness = 4, ] xsized TextWidth ; draw lmt_outline [text = "Auflage Zupfinstrument {\notonaskharabic \textdir TRT کرن}",kind = "reverse", fillcolor = "blue", drawcolor = "transparentgray", rulethickness = 4, ] xsized TextWidth shifted (0,-2cm); draw lmt_outline [text = "Auflage Zupfinstrument {\notonaskharabic \textdir TRT کرن}",kind = "reverse", fillcolor = "gray", drawcolor = "blue", rulethickness = 4, ] xsized TextWidth shifted (0,-4cm); \stopMPcode \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------------------If your question is of interest to others as well, please add anentry to the Wiki! maillist : [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl <https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl> webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl <https://www.pragma- ade.nl> / https://context.aanhet.net <https:// context.aanhet.net> (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context <https:// github.com/contextgarden/context> wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net <https:// wiki.contextgarden.net> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki!maillist : [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl <https:// mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl> webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl <https://www.pragma-ade.nl> / https://context.aanhet.net <https://context.aanhet.net> (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context <https:// github.com/contextgarden/context>wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net <https://wiki.contextgarden.net>------------------------------------------------------------------------ ___________________________________________________________________________________If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki!maillist : [email protected] / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror)archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________-- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki!maillist : [email protected] / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror)archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
