Dear Hans,
I need to create a graphic, where text is placed inside an ellipse. I should
place that in the background for a presentation.....
Now I started to study and try to use MetaFun. It looks like that in the
chapter 9 there is just what I need. - However I did not succed to produce
any of your examples though I copied the code from the manual.
It looks like that there is a problem in the \handletokens macro. When
compiling the code I get an error:
! Argument of \dododohandletokens has an extra }.
<inserted text>
\par
<to be read again>
}
\dododohandletokens ...=\hbox {\bfd \the \MPtoks }
\par \startMPdrawing \par
...
How to use the command \getMPgraphic? - Between starttext and stoptext?
Willi
