[NTG-context] how to apply gradient color to a piece of text?

[seyal.zavira]

hi all,

when i look at luametafun manual there are some intresting examples that can apply gradient colors to metapost paths.
how i can apply this cool feature to a piece of text?

i tried the code below but it does not produce any result.

\definecolor[Gleft] [h=9f9393]
\definecolor[Gright] [h=ff1aa4]
\startMPpage
picture Mytext;
Mytext := btex hello etex;

draw lmt_shade [
picture="Mytext",
direction = "right",
domain= { 0, 2 },
colors= { "headerGleft", "headerGright" },
] ;
\stopMPpage

Have a look at the posts starting on the 2 March 2021 with the subject 
heading "Shaded Large Letters in LMTX". Hans gave a great solution.

Best Wishes

Neither for the example in
https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/ntg-context@ntg.nl/message/SNL5YJ3NKZNFYAPG3MCZXA2363GWEJA3/
nor for that in
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Cover_Pages#Empty_or_Transparent_letters
I get any text in the gradient box. The font is loaded.

Does it work for you?

Not for me either. I used it somewhere so I'll need to look back in my 
files.
