I want a full circle in two halves with the same duplicated sentence.
The first one written clockwise and the second one written
counterclockwise (as in the commented path above).
I hope it is clearer now.
path p ; p := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm ;
path q ; q := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm rotated 180 ;
path q ; q := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm rotated 180 ;
\followtokens{~this way~}
\followtokens{\reversedtext{~this way~}}
Many thanks for the reply, Hans.
I don’t know what I’m missing here, but I cannot get your code working.
Here you have the full sample:
\useMPlibrary[txt]
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{followtokens}
path p ; p := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm ;
path q ; q := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm rotated 180 ;
path q ; q := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm rotated 180 ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\followtokens{~this way~}
\followtokens{\reversedtext{~this way~}}
\stoptext
\reversedtext is undefined (I’m using beta from 2018.04.04 00:51).
of course it it ... it's basically the lua snippet i sent a few mails ago
But even commenting that second command, \followtokens seems to require
that path is named RotPath to be used the text. I get the standard line.
sure, that's how it works (at least with that module ... that trickery
dates from mkii)
What am I doing wrong here?
probably using a mechanism in away that is a bit ovet the top
(so you can wait till the embedded variant shows up)
we will have this in metafun:
followtext("this way",p) ;
so that one can do it all in mp ... a nice gimmick for the ctx meeting
This will be incredibly handy.
i wonder, not many users run into this feature (kind of coincidence that
we have two reports this month) .. it's mostly that i was curious if it
could be integrated that i looked into it
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
