Hi, in an example document I’m trying to get pictures of random size and
placement.
Unfortunately the expansion is over my head:
Put the value of the random location in a macro.
Thank you!
I thought I had tried that, but probably only defining the macro outside of the
other…
It could have been that you used \def which doesn't work because this
will always
call the Lua function and you get a new random value but with \edef the
result
of the first random value is stored in the macro.
\def\RandomA{\cldcontext{math.random(1,4)}}
\edef\RandomB{\cldcontext{math.random(1,4)}}
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{A: \RandomA \quad B: \RandomB\par}
\stoptext
