Where should TraceRot be specified in the \followtokens
example of the metafun manual? It doesn't seem to work for me.
Also, what is the difference between \startMPenvironment
and \startMPinclusions ?
Thanks,
Denis
Example where TraceRot has no effect (and why is the type of TraceRot
declared here?):
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\startMPenvironment
%\setupbodyfont[loc,mt,ppl,pcr,10pt]
\setupbodyfont[loc,mt,10pt]
\definefont[RotFont][RegularBold]
\stopMPenvironment
\startuseMPgraphic{followtokens}
path RotPath; RotPath:=fullcircle scaled 5cm;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\startMPinclusions
boolean TraceRot; TraceRot := true;
\stopMPinclusions
\def\processfollowingtoken#1%
{\appendtoks#1\to\MPtoks
\setbox\MPbox=\hbox{\bfd\setstrut\strut\the\MPtoks}%
\startMPdrawing
n:=n+1; len[n]:=\the\wd\MPbox;
\stopMPdrawing
\startMPdrawing[-]
pic[n]:=btex \bfd\setstrut\strut#1 etex;
\stopMPdrawing}
\def\followtokens#1%
{\vbox\bgroup
\MPtoks\emptytoks
\resetMPdrawing
\startMPdrawing
\includeMPgraphic{followtokens}
picture pic[]; numeric len[],n;n:=0;
\stopMPdrawing
\handletokens#1\with\processfollowingtoken
\startMPdrawing
numeric al,pl,at,wid,pos; pair ap,ad;
al:=arclength RotPath;
pl:=(al-len[n])/(n-1);
for i=1 upto n:
wid:=abs(xpart lrcorner pic[i]-xpart llcorner pic[i]);
pos := len[i]-wid/2+(i-1)*pl;
at := arctime pos of RotPath;
ap := point at of RotPath;
ad := direction at of RotPath;
draw pic[i]
shifted (-wid/2,0)
rotated (angle(ad)) shifted ap;
endfor;
\stopMPdrawing
\MPdrawingdonetrue
\getMPdrawing
\resetMPdrawing
\egroup}
\followtokens{We now follow some arbitrary path ...}
\stoptext

Hm. it should work since [see meta-txt.tex] it is only defined if the user
has not defined it.

mp code

Actually, when I omit the two definitions it works, so I guess
there was an error in my definitions.

These are defined in the loaded library, you must omit these defs.

Thanks for the answers concerning my typo (ouline!),
\setupbodyfont[ber,pcr,10pt] (which works, but where
is my font configuration defined?), \RotFont (which
works now with \useMPlibrary[txt]), \bgroup/\egroup, etc.
However, I still can't manage to make TraceRot work.
Below is my exact example. I do not see tha characters
framed.
