Dear ConTeXt list,
I have been having troubles with LinearShade with ConTeXt for quite a
while, even with the latest version.
Steps to reproduce:
There is a test.tex at the bottom of this e-mail:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580447#5
Copy paste it into the ConTeXt Live interface at the ConTeXt
Garden. Result is blank.
But what I expect (produced with an ancient version of ConTeXt, Debian
version 2008.05.21-1):
http://people.debian.org/~akumar/dump/test_expected.pdf
Could you please let me know where things are going wrong? The mail
has the log files attached.
Thanks.
Kumar

best post the minimal example here and tell us what version you run; the
benchmark is context mkiv as of today (not much has changed in mkii anyway)

Thanks. Here's the code:
<file>
\setuppapersize[S6][S6]
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
\switchtobodyfont[modern,20pt]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=darkblue]
\startcolor[white]
\setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch]
\definecolor[a][r=0,g=0,b=1]
\definecolor[b][r=0,g=0,b=0.05]
\startuniqueMPgraphic{LinearShade}
path p ;
p := unitsquare xscaled \overlaywidth yscaled \overlayheight ;
linear_shade(p,6,\MPcolor{a},\MPcolor{b}) ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[shaded][\useMPgraphic{LinearShade}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background={shaded}]
\starttext
Here's my first presentation in \CONTEXT!
Isn't it amazing?
\stoptext
</file>
This is from an old ConTeXt example I copied from your documentation
(I don't recall exactly).
Thanks!
Kumar

You have a problem with metapost not being run. Search the
contextgarden for write18 for the solution.
BTW: You cannot use the contextgarden to check if you code
is working. The same restrictions as on your system apply.
Consider using mkiv as Hans suggested.
Marco
