transparent colors in latest beta

transparent colors in latest beta

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi Hans,

the bad news is that transparent colors don't work at all in the latest
beta with mkiv (they worked on and off with the beta before that). The  
good
news is that this makes it easier to build a minimal example :-) Here  
comes:

\setupcolors[state=start]

\starttext

\startuseMPgraphic{test}
pair a, b, c, d ;
a = (0,0) ; b = (0,5cm) ; c = (5cm,5cm) ; d = (5cm,0) ;
path p ; p = a -- b -- c -- d -- cycle ;
draw a -- c withcolor black ;
fill p withcolor transparent (1,0.25,red) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\useMPgraphic{test}

\stoptext

All best

Thomas

has to do with a confused page state (side effect of new numbering code)

you can try the beta (maybe other bugs were introduced now)

Yes, looks like a file was forgotten:

I can't find file `trac-lmx.tex'.
<to be read again>
                    \relax
l.77 \loadmkivfile{trac-lmx.tex}

All best
