Hi,
I am trying to achieve the following:
\setMPtext{1}{ABC}
\setMPtext{2}{DEF}
\setMPtext{3}{GHI}
\starttext
\startMPpage[offset=1ex,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
for i=1 upto 3:
draw textext(\MPstring{i}) shifted(i*cm,i*cm) ;
endfor;
\stopMPpage
\stoptext
There is no error but no content either. What's wrong?
Another way to do this is to use
\TeXtext{1}{ABC} etc.
and then call
draw sometxt(i)
For Sec 4.5 of Mojca's my way on sometxt
http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/sometxt.pdf
Thank you for the tip, I tried it, but sometext seems deprecated in
mkiv ("[do we need TeXtexts in MkIV]").
I thought that you were using MKII.
I've different buffers named 1–12 and would like to pipe them to
Metapost. I thought I could use a textext(\getbuffer[i])-construct, it
failed. So I tried it with \setMPtext{}{} …
What is the approach to achieve this?
Well, if nothing else works, you can always cheat.
\startluacode
userdata = userdata or {}
userdata.labels = {
[1] = "ABC" ,
[2] = "DEF" ,
[3] = "GHI" }
function userdata.shift(i)
return "(" .. i .. "cm ," .. i .. "cm )"
end
function userdata.draw(i)
return "draw btex " .. userdata.labels[i] .. " etex shifted "..
userdata.shift(i) .. ";"
end
\stopluacode
\starttext
\startluacode
context.startMPpage({offset = "1ex", width = [[\paperwidth]], height =
[[\paperheight]]})
for i = 1,3 do
context(userdata.draw(i))
end
context.stopMPpage()
\stopluacode
\stoptext
a nice example for the wiki
