Hi,

Is it possible to truncate the digits after decimal point in Metapost
when using textext()? Please see the minimal example below which
produces 1.84375. Can I just keep the first digit and have it produce
1.8 ?

Thanks.

\setuppapersize[letter][letter]

\setupcolors[state=start]


\starttext

\startuseMPgraphic{Figure}
        u := 1cm;
        pickup pencircle scaled 2pt; % default pen thickness
        %TheFunction
                vardef f(expr x) =
                        (10/x)-x*((0.5)**x)
                enddef;
        %Labels 
                label.lft(textext(decimal f(5)),(0,f(5)) scaled u);             
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{Figure}

\stoptext
