Hello, A while back I wrote this dirty code (read as: hack) in attachment that allows multiple optional parameters in metapost functions, for example:
draw_text("text");
draw_text(angle(30),"text");
draw_text(angle(30),align(right),"text");
draw_text(align(center),"text");
The code compiles fine with mkii, but not with mkiv. I would be
grateful for any hints about how to fix this.
I get the error:
mplib | mp terminal: ! Missing `,' has been inserted.

Thanks a lot,

(The code is taken out of
http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/t-gnuplot/metapost/context/third/gnuplot/mp-gnuplot.mp
and I'm slowly plucking up my courage to port the code to mkiv.)
