Re: [NTG-context] MetaPost with etex/btex
Hi David,
The use of the different possibilities of including metapost graphics in
ConTeXt are described in the METAFUN-manual on pages 9, 81-82, 115
For your refernce I attach a small demo file using your code ...
Kind regards Willi

Hello,
The following code results in no label output:
\starttext
\startMPcode
label.top(btex Some label etex, (1cm,1cm)) ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
I'm using ConTeXt 2003.12.12.
By the way, why don't \startMPgraphic and \stopMPgraphic do anything?
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext
\section{Including the MPcode in the placefigure mechanism}

{the label}
{\startMPcode

\section{startMPgraphic -- placeMPgraphic}
\startMPgraphic
label.top(btex Some label 2 etex, (1cm,1cm)) ;
\stopMPgraphic
\loadcurrentMPgraphic{width=15cm}
\placeMPgraphic
\section{startuseMPgraphic -- useMPgraphic}
\startuseMPgraphic{Label2}
label.top(btex Some label 3 etex, (1cm,1cm)) ;

Re : [NTG-context] MetaPost with etex/btex
Hi Willi, Thanks for the examples, they'll sure be useful. But I realize I have not been precise enough in my post. The point is that \startMPcode fill fullcircle scaled 1cm withcolor red ; \stopMPcode works, while \startMPcode label.top(Some label, (1cm,1cm)) ; \stopMPcode produces some garbage between Some and label, and \startMPcode label.top(btex Some label etex, (1cm,1cm)) ; \stopMPcode doesn't work at all. Sorry for being that vague.
