Hello!
Today I wanted to use an older tex file…. I get the same error as in the following test.
\startuniqueMPgraphic{test}
path p;
p := fullcircle scaled 5cm;
draw p;
label.bot(textext("Centre"), center p);
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\starttext
\startTEXpage
\useMPgraphic{test}
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
The error message is:
Argument of \meta_start_environment has an extra }
<inserted text>
\par
<to be read again>
}
\meta_handle_unique_graphic ...ocess_graphic {#3}}
\setxvalue {\??mpgraphic \...
\meta_use_graphic ...]}\getvalue {\??mpgraphic #1}
\empty \meta_end_graphic_g...
<to be read again>
l.288 \useMPgraphic{test}
This error occurs as well with version ConTeXt ver: 2014.08.29 20:57 as with the latest beta ConTeXt ver: 2014.09.26 11:42.
Am I missing something?
Kind regards
Willi

Hi Willi,
I tested your example file: it works fine here with
ConTeXt ver: 2014.09.25 18:58 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.9.25 int: english/english
Which version are using?
Best regards: OK

ConTeXt ver: 2014.08.29 20:57
ConTeXt ver: 2014.09.26 11:42.
strange!

Hi Willi,
I just updated to
ConTeXt ver: 2014.09.26 11:42 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.9.26 int: english/english
and tested again your example: everything works as expected here…
So probably there is something strange happening on your side.

Thanks!

I also threw in a fmtutil --all followed by another texhash.
Now I am error free. But the following test.tex file will create the
graphic file but will not place it on the output pdf file. I suspect I
must tweak something somewhere but I am not sure where:
-----------------------------------------------------
\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{dummy}
fill fullcircle scaled 5cm withcolor red;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{dummy}
The above is a graphic.
\vfil
\stoptext
-----------------------------------------------------
The resultant test-mpgraph.1 (PostScript) file has a gray
quarter-circle in the lower left corner. The test.pdf file has the
text sentence but no graphic at all.
I can create the test circle successfully from metapost ignoring
Context altogether. But the above steps fail somewhere.

I tried a fresh reinstall of TeX on a new install of Slackware. I used
TeXLive 2002 for the TeX install. Then I tried the same test file and
got similar messages.
I am now back to my original partition. I will wipe out TeX and
reinstall TeXLive, then update to the latest Context distro.
Two questions:
Do I also need to install the separate Metafun zip file or is this
included in the Context zip?
Do I unzip the distro in /usr/TeX/texmf or further down the tree?

the metapost code moved down one level (now in metapost/context/base) so
that users etc can have files in /user etc as well

Have you recently updated your context installation? If so, something
may have gone wrong there, I once had the same problem. Some files were
moved or renamed, and is a standard reinstall are _not_ overwritten by
the new version. Mixing and old and a new version is not a good idea.
Solution: remove the current context related stuff from
texmf/tex/context and texmf/metapost/context and reinstall.

It seems that your metafun is out of date (not synced with ConTeXt).
Running texexec --make metafun in your web2c or any equivalent
directory might help.

Just got back into Metafun. I used the example program from page 5 of
the manual:
------------------------------------------
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{dummy}
fill fullcircle scaled 5cm withcolor red;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{dummy}
\stoptext
------------------------------------------
When I run
texexec test.tex I get:
-----------------------------
This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.3.7x)
(test-mpgraph.mp
>> spotcolors
>> true
! Equation cannot be performed (numeric=boolean).
<to be read again>
;
l.23 spotcolors := true ;
---------------------------
on the second pass.
If I eliminate the red color it still doesn't work.
The file test-mpgraph.mp contains these lines which look ok:
cmykcolors := true ;
spotcolors := true ;
color OverlayColor, OverlayLineColor ;
If I just generate the graphic with
texexec --mptex test.tex
that works OK.
Any ideas?
